Any excuse to wear a fake mustache and a sombrero makes my heart sparkle. This is probably why Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays! Did I mention how much I love tacos and tequila? Hey, I’m from Texas. It’s in my blood! In honor of this glorious celebration, I’ve pulled together some of my favorite tequila cocktail recipes. Allrecipes.com is pretty much my saving grace for all things kitchen and bar related, so if these recipes don’t suit your fancy, I’d recommend heading over there and typing the word ‘tequila.’

Get your fiesta on!

Who doesn’t love having a few shots of tequila? This writer doesn’t.  I can usually manage with the lime and salt included, but still; there are tons of things I’d rather experience than the burn of tequila as it runs down my throat followed immediately by my stomach trying to send it back.

BUT, it is National Tequila Day, so the Goose (or the cheap Burnetts vodka that I normally drink) is gonna have to wait until tomorrow night. I can’t let a momentous day like this pass me by without partaking in some “festivities.” And by festivities, I clearly mean a little one tequila, two tequila, three tequila…. well, you know the ending.

And I don’t even have to do it in shot form, because there are some mighty fine lookin’ tequila cocktails out there. These badboys give you all the tequila goodness without the pain/regurgitation.

I’ll drink (tequila) to that! Read More »
