The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Cinco de Mayo, obviously. Also, coincidentally, my birthday! Feliz cumpleanos to moi! I like to mix it up with the languages - it keeps me cultured. I don't actually think that my birthdate was a coincidence though since I happen to love all things Mexican. Particularly margaritas, tacos, and guacamole in no particular order, but with margaritas definitely topping the list.

This year, as I mentioned, I will be cruising the USA which will make all other birthdays exponentially inferior. Truth be told, my birthday snuck up on me this year. I have been too busy thinking about finals and applications and MCATs and all the other shitty things that go along with that. However, today it has finally sunk in that my day of deliverance is upon me and I am pretty excited. The best part about it is that everyone else on the cruise will be celebrating right along with me - cinco de drinko, y'all!

In anticipation of the superior holiday, and my blessed day of birth, I will leave you with a recipe for a delicious spin on the margarita, the BEER margarita! What could be better. This is the recipe from pinterest that I pictured in a previous post.

Ingredients:

• (1) 12 ounce can frozen limeade concentrate

• 12 ounces cherry flavored soda

• (1) 12 ounce bottle of your favorite beer (I used Corona Light)

• 12 ounces of your favorite tequila

• Kosher salt, for rimming glass

• Lime for garnish

• Cherries for garnish

• Instructions:

Rub lime wedge around rim of each glass; dip in kosher salt.

In a large pitcher, mix all ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon to combine.

Serve over ice (if desired) & garnish with a lime wedge & cherry.

Yes, please.
