As we get a little older, it can be quite exhausting to navigate through the crowds and deal with very inebriated folks who celebrate this Holiday (of course we have been some of those inebriated people, that's why we know - Ha Ha). Most importantly, it's also hard to find a friend who is willing to put up with everyone's drunk ass and be the designated driver. We can have fun by ourselves anywhere, anytime; so this year, we decided to tone it down a bit and celebrate at home by the pool. Of course no Maven Holiday would be complete without music, cocktails, and props, so we donned our sombreros, stuck a mustache on our face, and instantly transformed into the "Cinco de Mayo Mavens".
As we were making our first cocktail, we came up with the fun idea to concoct and drink five different drinks in honor of the "Cinco de Mayo" Holiday. We call it "Cinco de Drinkos." Here are the Cinco Drinkos we made:
Bahama Mama |
Pisco Sour |
Pink Panty Pulldowns |
Piña Colada |
and of course we ended with our beloved wine.

Before the day ended, we were visited by a few Federales (Mexican Police) warning us to keep it down. They wondered how so much noise could come from only two señoritas? We laughed and told them it's not hard for us to do especially after cinco drinkos. We didn't want any trouble, so we assured them we would quiet down. Doesn't look like they believe us...
After all the hoopla, we were lucky the Federales only issued us a warning and didn't throw us in the slammer. Ha! Ha! Well, it just goes to show you ... whether we are partying like rock stars or laying low it's always a jolly holiday with the Mavens. Hasta luego toda la gente!!
