Mangia Monday: Tequila Lime Chicken Wings
Cinco de Mayo is next Tuesday and now is just the right time to spice up your kitchen for the holiday. Bevmo! is coming to you with this Latin-inspired Tequila Lime Chicken Wings recipe with a punch that is sure to get your Cinco party going. P.S. We suggest Reposado.
Spiked Tequila Lime Chicken Wings
Ingredients
1 pound of chicken wings, cut into segments, tips removed and discarded
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
Tequila Lime Sauce
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup Partida Tequila (Blanco or Reposado)
1 tablespoon agave syrup, sometimes called nectar
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1/2 tablespoon freshly cracked pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the wings with salt and pepper and arrange on a
baking sheet in a single layer. Cook until just brown and crisp, about 45 minutes.
Make the sauce: Combine the lime zest and juice, tequila, agave syrup, cumin, adobo sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon pepper in a bowl. Pour over the warm wings and let marinate at least 30 minutes. Preheat a grill to high. Grill the wings until marked, 10 to 15 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the marinade to a saucepan and cook until slightly thick, about 8 minutes (you can do this on the grill as well). Drizzle the wings with the sauce and top with cilantro, if desired.

Fashion Friday: Vera Wang's Hotel Madrid Short Film
Vera Wang collaborated with director Gordon Von Steiner to present her Spring 2016 Collection through a sensual short film called Hotel Madrid. Inspired by the lush culture of Spain and the beauty of Latin women, Wang told Yahoo Style that she really wanted her collection to be seen through her own particular lens that could not been shown in a runway showroom. This collection and film brings a whole new name to bridal fashion, and it's name is sexy, risqué and down right amazing. Take a look at the film below and feast your eyes on these provocative pieces of art.

Personalized Touches: Wooden Tag Place Cards
Personalized touches make a wedding more your own. Your place card display is usually the first thing your guests see as they enter your reception. It should therefore reflect the style of your wedding. To create fun, casual place cards, we used wooden tags and imprinted them with bright paint and rubber stamps.
You will need:
Wooden Gift Tags (Michael's Craft Store)
Stamp Pad(s) for mixed media (Michael's Craft Store)
Assorted Rubber Stamps
Ribbon
For our event, we used the place cards as meal indicators. We selected a fork and spoon rubber stamp design for each tag and then used alphabet stamps to spell out the meal choice. You could also imprint each guest's name using the alphabet stamps.
To create the place cards, simply press the rubber stamp into the stamp pad and then carefully press the stamp onto the wooden tag. Be sure to press straight down and straight up so you don't smear the design.
We then tied a small bow to each place card using thin ribbon. You could also tie loops and hang the cards from a frame or tree or leave loose ribbon attached to create a book mark style tag.
