Cinco de Mayo is a great “party” holiday. First of all, there’s the built in excuse to make Margaritas. Second of all, almost everyone loves Mexican food. I’ve put together a collection of some of my favorite Cinco de Mayo recipes to help you plan your fiesta menu.

We discovered "Mexican" sangria while on vacation in Tulum, Mexico. I make it with rose wine, fresh fruit and a little tequila for the "Mexican" flavor. The perfect drink for a Cinco de Mayo party.
One of my all-time favorite recipes on the blog. Grilled peaches add just enough sweetness to the smoky, spicy taco filling. The same recipe can be made with grilled pineapples in place of the peaches.
Spicy Sweet with a hint of cinnamon, hot pepper and tequila. Served with amazingly delicious tequila-spiked cinnamon whipped cream.
Rich chocolate brownies with a kick of habanero heat! Easy to make and the perfect Cinco de Mayo recipe.
A crunchy graham cracker crust is filled with tequila-spiked lime custard! Key Lime Pie meets your favorite classic margarita.
If it's got tequila in it why not serve it for Cinco de Mayo? The tequila really helps bring out the flavors in the peach filling.
A super easy and quick bread that's made in a cast iron skillet. The perfect side to your Mexican fiesta.
This bread would be perfect on your Cinco de Mayo table. Fresh corn, jalapenos and cheese come together for a rich and tasty bread.
Salud!

Okay, I know it has passed but o-m-g these Cinco de Mayo recipes are out of this world!! Those Tequila Peach Hand Pies are something I would make anytime, and if we are being honest so is that Sangria (I loooove that you use a rose…my go to for sure). I have quite a few events this summer where I see these being a huge hit!

We discovered the “Mexican” sangria on vacation last year. We made it all summer long and I’ve already stocked up on tequila and rose to enjoy it again this summer.
