We had at least six different kinds of dips including salsas, guacamole, and bean dip.

Cheers: Cinco de Mayo Cocktails
Instead of serving just one specialty cocktail, how about a few? Create a sangria bar with red, white, and sparkling sangria! Each one is a hit in their own right. My favorite is the sparkling though!

Citrus Sangria
Dessert
Well, I gave this mustache cake a try. It came out okay. You take a round cake and carefully make a wavy line to chop it. Think a ying yang! Re-combine the cake to look like a mustache and enjoy!
