Cinco de Mayo began as an unlikely victory over Napoleon III but it has changed into a time to celebrate Mexican culture, music, and cuisine.  It has been celebrated in the United States since the 1860’s. but didn’t become a national holiday until 2005.  It is treated as a time to educate, celebrate, and enjoy our favorite Mexican cuisine including tacos, chips and guacamole, and margaritas.  Is your restaurant ready to be part of the festivities?

Customers will come in expecting one of the two D’s on a holiday like this: Deals or decorations.  Look into working up some ideas for your bar now.  For instance, this is the time to order your glasses if you plan to make a Mexican Bulldog Margarita that your smaller glasses won’t be able to handle.  The Anchor Weiss Goblet in 32 oz. is perfect for a Mexican Bulldog as it to holds enough margarita and your Mexican beer of choice easily.  Plus the glass is heavy enough that you don’t need to worry about your customers breaking it effortlessly.

If you’re planning for a Mexican themed special, then you can just add a playful little Mexican toothpick flag to it.  It is also a wonderful time to check your chip baskets before all the chips and salsa orders go out. It is time to upgrade from plastic to metal for a longer lasting style.   Look into the Artisan™ baskets by Tablecraft, many of them even have sauce holders for the salsa of your choice.

If your bar is preparing for one of its busiest nights of the year, look into saving your staff some time by preparing margaritas in pitchers.  This helps the bartenders to have a classic and a strawberry margarita prepared in the refrigerator to go.  Anchor Hocking’s Kufra Pitcher with Ice Container you that is a perfect fit for any bar.
