To create the perfect fiesta, we recommend playing it up. The Mexican heritage is rich in culture. Use this as your inspiration. If you aren't of this origin, we are here to help. Create crepe paper flowers and pop them in ribbon wrapped cans. Make homemade Horchata. When served in mason jars this drink is made even more special. Don't forget the BeerRita. Here is a good BeerRita recipe: INGREDIENTS – 12 oz. Tequila – 12 oz. Limeade – 2 12 oz. Mexican Beer – 1/4 cup Limoncello – 1/8 cup Grand Orange Marnier – 1 cup Ice- Crushed – 2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice. Mix the ingredients then season the rim of your glass with lime wedge. Add salt if you wish! Serve this ice cold. A nice addition to having great drinks? Great sides. Have an avocado bar complete with colorful chips.

Want to put a chic twist on your Cinco de Mayo feast? Consider using ombre fabrics as your inspiration. For the menu, have mini Churro Cupcakes and Tres Leches Cups. Add pops of ombre table linens and beautiful florals for a nice pop of color. This is the best way to transform your Cinco de Mayo party into an elegant and glamourous fiesta!

Cinco de Mayo's actual meaning can be easily missed in that bounty of margarita. The fun of all the fiesta might cause us to completely overlook the real history of the holiday. Let's take a closer look before we kick up our boots. The celebration dates back to a conflict in 19th-century Mexico. Focusing on the effect the American Civil War had on Latinos. The date is observed to remember the Mexican Army's unlikely victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla. This happened on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. Host a neighborhood Dinner Party in honor of all of this. Set out to host a Beunas Noches themed birthday party with lots of fun elements and vibrant colors!
