    Cinco de Mayo Bar Cart

    Mexican food is my favorite food so it no surprise that we love Cinco de Mayo. Bright colors and margaritas, what is not to love!  I experimented with lots of Margarita recipes to find the perfect one.  It is easy to make by the pitcher and it is delicious.  Today I am sharing inspiration for the perfect Cinco de Mayo Bar Cart.

    Decor for Cinco de Mayo Bar Cart

    This holiday is all about color!  I started with multi-color tissue garland to accent both sides of the cart.  Nothing says a party like Pinatas.  I could not pick just one so I bought both the mini and the oversized pinata.  I had a hard time explaining to our daughter that it was for decor and did not have candy in it.  The Senorita needs another Margarita napkins were perfect in color and theme.
