I don’t know about you but Cinco de Mayo means time for my favorite cocktail.
Restaurants around here have a long list of margaritas. There are different tequilas and different mixers all ending up in a zingy cocktail. It’s the perfect drink for summer, festivals, parties, happy hour and Cinco de Mayo.
Cinco de Mayo not only commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla
We adopted them from a rescue shelter when they were 6 weeks old. Minnie is feisty with a mind of her own and Moocher is laid-back and affectionate, contrary to what some people in this family think; you know who you are!
That's Minnie on the left and Moocher yawning.
This is not the same old margarita ~ the ones with strawberry, lime or banana. This margarita is shaken up a bit with the subtle taste of coconut.
Minnie and Moocher will be diving into a can of tuna while I enjoy a Coconut Margarita. Here’s the recipe:
Coconut Margarita
Ingredients:
4 cups ice
4 teaspoons Coco Lopez, Cream of Coconut
8 ounces pineapple juice
4 ounces tequila
8 ounces Sweet & Sour mix
2 ounces Triple Sec or other orange liqueur

Makes about 4 margaritas.
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo amigos!
¡Feliz cumpleaños Minnie and Moocher!
