Salsa Bar Party Ideas

Summer is here! Are you hosting a cocktail party? BACARDI® Mixers has one of the most delicious drink recipes I have tried. The Salsa Sipper is the perfect drink to go with a salsa bar! Who doesn’t love chips and salsa right? I grew up in Mexico, and these hot and spicy ideas could not be any better!

You can pull this off without spending a fortune. I purchased 4 different kinds of chips and salsa. I suggest to have some choices for your guests.

Restaurant style chips, taco flavor, multigrain and hint of lime are some of my favorites!

Here are the 2 main ingredients for the Salsa Sipper cocktail. This savory blend of pepper and jalapeño creates a distinct fiery drink that no one will forget, not to mention it is simple and easy to make!

BACARDI® Mixers is a premium line of non-alcoholic mixers available in 10 fl. oz cans in the frozen juice aisle. With seven easy-to-make flavors to choose from- including Strawberry Daiquiri, Margarita, Piña Colada- there are endless ways to make your next party come together instantly! Stop by and check out BACARDI® Mixers Facebook page to see a new daily cocktail idea!

Hello friends!!

I’m super excited, overwhelmed, nervous, stressed and all that goes along with planning an over-the-top party. I consider myself just lucky yet honored that the wife of an NFL Football player would like me to decorate their son’s 2nd birthday this upcoming weekend! I get to fly out of state so that just makes things a bit more challenging, but I know it will be super fun!
