Cinco De Mayo








Stealing some fabulous Cinco De Mayo ideas from Nicole Miller's Day of the Dead party last year! I love the idea of incorporating the mexi paper flowers in your party!! Directors to make your own HERE.

Spice up your menus with  Grapefruit Margaritas!

Ingredients

  • 1 wedge Ruby Red grapefruit
  • Coarse kosher salt
  • 6 ounces tequila
  • 1/3 cup Ruby Red vodka
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup
  • 1 cup Ruby Red grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed or from a carton
  • 1/4 freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 cups ice cubes
  • 2 crosswise slices Ruby Red grapefruit, cut into quarters

Directions

Use the wedge of grapefruit to rub the rims of 6 margarita glasses with grapefruit juice. Dip the rims in the kosher salt to coat. Set aside as you prepare the margaritas.
Place the tequila, vodka, simple syrup, grapefruit juice, lime juice and ice in a bar blender and puree until smooth. Divide the margarita between 6 glasses and garnish with the grapefruit quarters.
