Cinco de Mayo<\/a> is just around the corner and margaritas are most likely on the menu. If you’re looking for some fun new ideas check out my Liquid Kitchen video on how to make a Black and Blue Cadillac Margarita<\/strong><\/a> with Grand Marnier foam<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nMy Black and Blue Cadillac Margarita<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beer cocktails are defiantly all the rage these days and especially d\u2019lish when made with our amazing local craft beers. If you\u2019re hosting a fiesta, a beer based punch is a great option to make bartending a breeze! Try my recipe for Hoppy Melon Rita Punch<\/strong> \u2013 Fremont Summer Solstice Ale<\/a>, fresh citrus, diced watermelon, and tequila \u2013 Yum!<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re looking for an alternative to the classic margarita, how about a chelada<\/a>! Originating over 75 years ago, this classic is now a drink staple. Made with Mexican beer, the juice of one lime, and served over ice in a salt rimmed glass. Refreshing!<\/p>\n

Michelada<\/a> is another variation with added spices, sauces, and peppers. Some people also make it with a splash of tomato juice, too.<\/p>\n

Happy Cinco de Mayo! \u2013Kathy<\/p>\n
