Cinco De Mayo Party with Sauza-Rita

Hi Everyone,

Today I am planning for a Cinco De Mayo Girls Night Out!  Woohoo!!  What fun!  You already know I love Mexican and this is the perfect party for me!  Spicy Mexican food, salsa music and one of my favorite drinks, Margaritas!  After all a Cinco De Mayo party is not a party without Margaritas!

Time to plan the party!!!   The first thing to do for planning a party is pick a date, that’s simple, especially since it’s Cinco De Mayo and that falls on May 5th and that happens to be a Sunday this year, so I will have the party on Saturday, May 4th!  Great, date is officially picked.  Next thing to do is get the invitations together.  How many girls do I want to have at my no man allowed party?  I think 5 or 6 would be perfect!

Next is food!  That’s easy, peppers. peppers, peppers and hot sauce!  Ok this is a party for everyone, not just me!  Since it’s a later party, and I am sure everyone will have eaten dinner, so I will probably have just a small appetizer party.  Just a few things to nibble on as we chat, laugh, and gossip!

I’m debating about the following treats.

Center:  Healthy Nachos

Top Right Down:

6 Layer Taco Dip

Now that we have a good idea what to eat, what she would drink?  How about this fabulous recipe from Sauza Tequila?

Time to whip up a pitcher of Sauza- Rita’s!  This is a wonderful, different spin to traditional margaritas.  This margarita is made with beer.  Sounds crazy, but the beer adds a nice taste and a little fizz to the margarita.  It’s made with limeade concentrate, beer and of course Sauza Blue 100% Blue Agave Tequila.

This recipe is made in a matter of minutes and is perfect for serving for a Girls Night Out, or even on a hot summers night.  It’s light, refreshing, sweet with a nice tang.  My Husband and I were surprised on how good it tasted!  When I told my Husband it was made with beer, he was like no way, but it was, but of course I used a light beer.

One thing I strongly believe in and I plan on doing this at my party is ask the ladies to be dropped off at my home and get picked up or have a cab take them home.  If anyone drives themselves, I will take their car keys and have a cab or my Husband drive them home.  I don’t believe that anyone should drink and drive.  Parties are meant to be fun and drinking and driving is not fun, so be sure to drink responsibly and always have a designated driver.

I started a Pintrest Cinco De Mayo board #MakeItWithTheLifeguard @SauzaTequila with lots of party ideas and different Sauza Rita Recipes.  Stop by and check it out.

I can’t wait to have my party!  Now time to get my hair done, my nails done and find a pretty hot red salsa dress!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer
