cinco de mayo

What's the average cost of a margarita in the state of Wisconsin? Pretty cheap compared to the rest of the nation. Here's where America's Dairyland ranks in the nation just in time for Cinco De Mayo.

It's fine to just enjoy the food, fun and tequila, but take your game to the next level by adding these things to your Cinco de Mayo experience.

Who wants happy hour?

Whether it's National Margarita Day or just a Tuesday, I always love tequila and margaritas.  I know that margaritas aren’t that hard to make from scratch, but sometimes it's just cleaner and easier to buy the mixes and just add your favorite tequila.

Even if you aren't planning a Cinco de Mayo party at your house, you can "spice" up the day to celebrate by serving Taste of Home's Beef and Bean Chimichangas!  Why serve just chips and salsa when you can WOW the family with this easy recipe.  Of course, ask for help with dishes after the meal BEFORE you serve it.  You know they'll want to siesta after filling up on this delicious meal!

While having Cinco de Mayo on a Sunday it not ideal, many will still get out and celebrate, even if it means a margarita at brunch.  A lot of people did their celebrating Saturday night, but many do not know exactly what Cinco de Mayo is all about.

When I was younger before I had a family and responsibilities, I would go out and celebrate Cinco De Mayo till the wee hours of the morning.  (It was easier to fit a siesta in back then).  Now, I have to find other ways to enjoy the day.  The whole family loves fajitas and with this recipe from Taste of Home it's an easy and quick meal.  OLE'

You can't beat Cinco de Mayo landing on a weekend this year!  You also can't beat this Pee Wee dance!  No excuses, get out there and celebrate.  Or make your own margaritas at home with some great take home mixers.

They’re our neighbor to the south. We share the second largest border between two countries. We enjoy their food and celebrate their culture every year on May 5. But, what do we really know about the officially named United Mexican States?

It’s May and that means that soon we’ll be celebrating our Mexican heritage, much like we all celebrate our Irish heritage in March…even when we have neither. Cinco de Mayo is a great excuse to leave work early, eat tortilla chips and drink more tequila than sanity allows, but is it starting to feel just a little bit like the same old thing?
