My friend Donna gave me this idea to add to my 50 Things List and I had the opportunity to attend a class while in Mazatlan on the Fun in the Sun Crafting Cruise I was co-hosting!

Along with Sheryl, Tricia and Bonnie we attended a ‘Salsa, Salsa and Margarita’s’ cooking class. It was AMAZING! We learned how to make 5 different salsas, a guacamole and 2 different kinds of margaritas. It was so fun, well organized and delicious!

All of the ingredients were fresh and we did all the steps from start to finish and of course there was a lot of taste testing. I do love salsa so it was interesting to learn different styles, ingredients and methods to creating it. We had homemade taco chips, cheese taquitos and cheese quesadillas to try along with our salsas and guacamole.

I had never made a salsa verde before so I really enjoyed this!

The two gals leading the cooking and margarita making were awesome! They were funny and engaging and explained all of the steps really clearly. We definitely learned a few tricks for creating salsa at home.

The venue was a hotel in Mazatalan that had a nice pool just steps up from the ocean! We had a break mid-way through and after the class had a chance to take advantage of the pool and ocean.

We made a lime margarita and a strawberry margarita from scratch and learned about different tequilas (by taste testing of course!) and the drinks were bottomless!

Our final salsa was a dessert salsa that they served with vanilla ice cream.
