Nacho Average Holiday
We are getting ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend and we are so excited! In this blog, we will explore some of the history of the holiday, the colorful influences, and our FAVORITE margarita recipe (it's only fitting)!
A little history on the holiday! Despite being a Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo has become immensely popular in the United States. Cinco de Mayo is often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, but instead marks the Battle of Puebla, where the Mexican Army achieved an unlikely victory against the French forces. It is now widely celebrated in commemoration of Mexican heritage and culture.
The holiday is recognizable by its distinct and bright primary color palette. The colors of the Mexican flag make up the base colors of red, green, white and black. Bold teals, blues, purples, yellows, and oranges have since joined the lineup to round out the most distinct colors of Cinco de Mayo. How does this relate to dentalimplantslifeline, you may be asking?
We have put together a collection of bright and fun pieces that we believe embody and celebrate the spirit of the holiday!

Now, our ode to the holiday in a form appreciated by most Americans, a MARGARITA recipe! A tried, true, and loved recipe is listed below - we hope you try them out for yourselves!
Margarita Recipe:
3 Simple Ingredients:
- 1 ½ ounces of tequila
- 1 ounce cointreau or triple sec
- ¾ ounce of lime juice
3 Simple Steps:
- How to make a perfect salt rim
- Spread your salt on a plate in an even layer.
- Cut a notch in the middle of a lime wedge, then slide it around the rim of the glass.
- To rim the glass, you’ll want the salt on the outside of the glass only, not the inside where it can fall into the drink. To do this, tilt the glass as you roll it around in the salt, so that only the outside edge goes into the salt.
