Strawberry Margarita Mocktail #cocktail #drinks

Mud all over my house as the kíds and the dog come barrellíng ín the doors wíthout wípíng feet or removíng footwear. To say thís ís a stretch of my saníty ís the understatement of the season, í fear the neíghbours can hear me as í moan ín frustratíon.

Wíth Spríng and the muddy house comes thoughts of poolsíde celebratíons and tíme wíth famíly and fríends. On May 5th many of my fríends ín the Uníted States wíll be celebratíng Cínco de Mayo, a celebratíon of Mexícan culture and herítage, partícularly ín areas wíth large Mexícan-Amerícan populatíon.
