Thank you so much to everyone that attended our Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Fundraiser for Mana de San Diego at Firehouse in Pacific Beach. Through ticket sales we were able to raise $1500! THANK YOU! Check out a few of your Instagram photos to see what wonderful supporters we had that night.
Join Artelexia for a Fiesta Fundraiser this Cinco de Mayo at FIREHOUSE in Pacific Beach!
Artelexia and FIREHOUSE have partnered up to host a fiesta fundraiser for MANA de San Diego! For a $10 donation ($15 at the door) guests will gain access to the VIP lounge located on the rooftop patio complete with a fire pit, private cabanas and an ocean view. Receive a welcome cocktail upon arrival, listen to music by Firehouse's resident DJ, enjoy a live mariachi performance, sample a few of my favorite tequilas, and play a modern-day version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey! We’ll have fabulous prizes, fun photo backdrops and lots more! Goodie bags available for the first 50 people to arrive. Don't miss out!
Who will these donations benefit? 100% of the ticket proceeds will benefit MANA de San Diego - Empowering Latinas through Education, Leadership Development, Community Service and Advocacy. Get your tickets here.
It's Cinco de Mayo, which means it's margarita time! Who am I kidding?! It's always margarita time. Am I right?! If you know me, you know that I love margaritas. It's probably more so to do with the fact that I love salt. Give me a salt-rimmed margarita (or two!), chips, salsa, freshly made guacamole and I am one happy gal. If you like margaritas (and want some recipe inspiration) check out ¡Hola! Jalapeño's Margarita Week.
One of my absolute favorite cocktails is the Perro Oaxaqueño, Oaxaca's version of a Salty Dog. It's a cocktail of mezcal and grapefruit juice, served in a highball glass with a salted rim. It's so easy to make and only requires 3 ingredients.
If you happen to find yourself in Oaxaca go and visit my amigos over at Mezquite. Tip: Go around sunset to enjoy your Perro Oaxaqueño on their rooftop patio as you watch the sky turn lovely shades of pink. #eatdrinkcookmexico
