ARTICLES For Cinco de Mayo
PASSION FRUIT TEQUILA MOJITO
WITH ONE COMMENT
There may be no better purpose for a passion fruit than a cocktail. This passion fruit mojito is fragrant and delicious and is best served on a remote island, with waterfalls, flamingos preening on the shore, dolphins frolicking in the shoreline and handsome island people playing ukuleles on the beach. If that is not possible, the drink stands on its own as a little mini-vacay.
WATERMELON, FETA AND TOMATO KABOBS
WITH 2 COMMENTS
These skewers are perfect no-cook, super-easy summer appetizers. I have not included ingredient amounts as the recipe can be created for just a couple people or increased for a large bash. Just remember one watermelon square, one cube feta, one cherry tomato, one basil leaf and one mint leaf per skewer. Time to prepare depends on how many skewers you are making.
MEXICAN MULE COCKTAIL
WITH NO COMMENTS
Mexican Mules are a variation of the always delicious Moscow Mule. Made with tequila, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and ginger beer, these cocktails are the perfect summer thirst-quencher. Take your Mexican Mules up a notch and add one of our Tequila Lime Boozy Pops as an edible garnish.

This spicy strata is a great way to feed brunch to a crowd. Layers of bread, sauteed vegetables, chorizo sausage and cheese are melded together with an egg, milk and cream custard. The strata is made a day in advance and then rests overnight in the fridge before baking.

This easy-to-make watermelon and tomato gazpacho is the perfect summer dish to get you through the heat, minimize your cooking efforts and feed you for a week. Watermelon gives this gazpacho an extra flavor burst and a little sweetness.
GRILLED MEXICAN CORN
WITH NO COMMENTS
Possibly the messiest, most delicious grilled corn you have ever eaten. My version of Mexican street corn uses Japanese Kewpie mayo and Spanish smoked paprika for an umami-rich, smokey treat.
