Salsa
I make this homemade salsa all the time with ripe tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and a few other fresh ingredients. It's always very popular. Serve with tortilla chips.
Easy Mojitos
An easy mojito recipe to enjoy at home. It's hard to find mojitos at any of the restaurants in the small town I'm in, and when I tried to make my own using club soda, they never seemed to turn out right. Using lemon-lime soda instead also cuts down on the amount of sugar usually used.
Paloma
Paloma is a delicious tequila cocktail that is a favorite in Mexico. It's a light and fruity drink with fizz — a great alternative to a margarita.
