The cold weather of winter has kept us indoors and as a result we’re all beginning to suffer from cabin fever. But with the promise of warmer weather as Spring approaches it’s time for us to celebrate this season. Here is just one party suggestion to help you celebrate with friends and family.

Drink-O de Mayo: This of course is a party celebrating Cinco de Mayo, but with a twist. This party will be themed around the Mexican celebration and alcohol…therefore, it is for adults only! Provide guests with sombreros and maracas. Decorate your space with vibrant colored and festive decorations to include banners and flags. Treat guests to an alcohol infused menu starting featuring tequila and lime marinated steak, margarita brined chicken, drunken rice and beans (arroz y frijoles borrachos) and Kahlua cupcakes.  Be sure to have plenty of cold Mexican beer on hand along with a build-your-own margarita bar. Also be sure to include Cinco de Mayo Jello shots for some extra flair. Guests can take their swing at a Mexican piñata filled with mini-plastic bottles of alcohol or play a game of Peso Toss. Thank guests by sending them home with a DIY Hangover Kit. Note: as a responsible host, accommodations should be made to provide guests with safe transportation home.
