It is Cinco de Mayo...check out the story of this fiesta day on wikipedia. Here is a pix of the battle that gave birth to this day of celebration...
The Battle of Puebla where the Mexican Army trounced the French May 5, 1862
How extra fun that it is also Thirsty Thursday!
Maybe you are expecting a margarita recipe? Well, I thought it would be fun to shake things up a bit and share this recipe with you. I found it and other Ole! worthy beverages on this link: http://cocktails.about.com/od/partiesholidays/tp/cinco_de_mayo.htm
1 oz vodka (Van Gogh Oranje Vodka if you can find it)
1 oz tequila
1/2 oz orange juice (sublime with fresh squeezed OJ!!)
orange slice for garnish
Pour ingredients into cocktail shaker, and add crushed ice.
Let stand for five seconds.
Shake vigorously for five seconds.
Strain into a martini glass, and garnish with an orange slice.
A sus ordenes, senores y senoritas!
