I don’t think anything says Cinco de Mayo more than a crisp Corona. Corona is always my drink of choice while away in Mexico but it really is the perfect beer to have on hand for when your friends drop by – Cinco de Mayo or any other day of the year! This year, I’m planning on putting a bit of a twist on this classic favourite and making beeritas! I love adding a bit of citrus and sweet to my beer so these are perfect for our Cinco de Mayo celebrations, they’re also super simple!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Coarse salt
Ice
Limes
Simple syrup or agave syrup
Tequila
To start, rim all the glasses with coarse salt. Fill with ice and add the fresh squeezed juice of half a lime. Then, add your favourite sweetener, I used simple syrup but agave would also work perfectly! Fill with Corona and garnish with a lime wheel. If you’re feeling really adventurous, add just a splash of tequila!
These little cocktails are super refreshing and a total crowd pleaser.
I love easy recipes that are quick to whip up for guests. This Negra Modelo cheese sauce is so yummy and perfect for sharing!
Here’s what you’ll need:
8oz cream cheese
2 cups mexican cheese mix (cheddar, mozza, monterey jack)
One cup Negra Modelo
½ tsp Garlic salt
You will simply melt the cream cheese in a sauce pan, add in the shredded cheese and negra modelo, cook on low while constantly stirring until melted and combined. Add garlic salt to taste. Voila! A super simple and delicious cheese sauce for you and your amigos.
I chose to use Negra Modelo for this recipe because the dark beer adds such a rich flavour to the sauce and helps to enhance the rich taste of the cheddar and monterey jack.
Bring these two recipes together to create the perfect Cinco De Mayo celebration for you and your friends!
