No Mexican fiesta is complete without tequila, rum and margarita* – especially New Years Eve! We’ve got some pretty fun ideas that use the summer fruits in really innovative ways. A good Mexican bar tender knows how to decorate drinks, so just check out the images below for some ideas! If you truly want to end the night in a Mexican way, when it hits 12 chink your drinks together and say ‘salud’.
Mexico is vibrant, so it’s only right your New Years decorations should be too! Think bright colours – yellow, blue, orange, green and pink. Hit up the crafts stores and get creative!
