There’s no food quite like Mexican food and it’s loved globally, in fact in the US, 4.5 billion tacos are eaten annually, that around 675,000 tons or the equivalent of 120,000 elephants worth of Tacos!
Anyway, back to the food, Nachos can have many different toppings on them and they make for a great party snack. What makes them shine is the guacamole. While there are plenty of different recipes, we like to keep ot simple by adding some finely chopped red onion to your guac giving it a great crunch.
Jalapeño poppers are another favourite. Stuffed with cream cheese and covered in breadcrumbs, this spicy treat is the definition of ‘moreish’. Quesadillas are another perfect party food, the list of fillings is endless, from leak and bacon to prawn and chorizo, you’ll be able to create quesadillas to suit everyone.
For those of you who always save room for dessert, Mexico’s favourite sweet is arguably the tres leches cake, a very light sponge cake made with three types of milk; whole, evaporated and condensed. And of course, you could always fry up a batch of sweet cinnamon churros.
The national drink of Mexico is tequila and we’re a lot of you have your own stories with Tequila, but hear us out. Patron offers a range of Tequilas to suit every taste – from Patron Silver to Añejo, an oak aged sipping Tequila.
If Tequila is a bit heavy going for a Sunday, then try a Red Bull mocktail. We’ve got just the one for the Mexican Grand Prix: the Spice (Yellow Edition). To make the Spice you’ll need a few lemon wedges/slices, 20ml lemon juice, one chilli, some rock salt, one can of Red Bull Yellow Edition. Here’s how to make it:
It’s a fiesta and you’re going to want some amazing music to help the atmosphere. And we’ve got just the thing, a Bulls Beats playlist, perfect for the Mexican Grand Prix.
You’re going to want to look your best at the party, so tread yourself to some new threads. The Red bull Shop has just the thing – Sergio Perez’ Mexican Grand Prix collection. The collection includes two different caps, a hoodie and a T-shirt, all with unique designs and graphics. Vamos Checo!
