It is almost Cinco de Mayo time and today I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite Cinco de Mayo recipes, Bloody Mary Chili Cheese Dip Bites and a Simple Michelada Drink Recipe using Clamato® Tomato Cocktail. These bite size appetizers are perfect to bring to a party or to serve if you are hosting the party at home. The Simple Michelada Drink is perfect for washing these appetizers down with. It’ll be a sure crowd pleaser.
Clamato is the authentic tomato cocktail that spices up all your parties and get-togethers, it really adds more to your meals and cocktails. And, it makes the perfect Michelada served with fresh wedges of lime and a salt rimmed glass.
Walmart’s Grocery Pickup! It has made my life so much easier. I added the Clamato Tomato Cocktail (64 oz) to my online cart and then added some other ingredients I needed for my recipe. You reserve a time for pickup (I selected the next morning) and they email/text you when your order is ready to be picked up.
Once I arrived at the Walmart store, I found the Grocery Pickup area easily. It is marked on one side of the building at my local Walmart with orange paint and there are signs directing you where to go. I parked in a space and dialed a number to let them know I was ready for them to bring out my groceries.
