Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The date is perhaps best recognized in the United States as a date to celebrate the culture and experiences of Americans of Mexican ancestry.
Special events and celebrations highlight Mexican culture, especially in its music and regional dancing. Grab some friends and host a party or spend the night in with your honey. Prepare a Mexican meal, make some margaritas, throw a couple Mexican blankets over the couch, light some candles and create your own sensual adventure. Check local costume shops for Cinco de Mayo outfits and do some role playing or dancing.

Visit the Food Network for some yummy recipes to celebrate the holiday.

Tasty Tuesday - Oatmeal Cookie shot
I belong to a Coffee Club, a fun group of Divas who drink coffee when we meet in the morning. But when we meet at night...we just drink. On Friday, I was given an Oatmeal Cookie and I don't mean the one with oats & raisins. It was delicious.

- 1-ounce Jagermeister
- 1-ounce Irish Cream Liqueur
- 1-ounce Butterscotch Schnapps
- 1/2-ounce Cinnamon Schnapps
- Raisins, for garnish, optional
Directions
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass over ice.
Here are a few variations.

Pour ingredients into a stainless steel shaker over ice, and shake until completely cold. Strain into an old-fashioned glass, and serve.
