Salisbury is a company of proud and dedicated artisans who recognize the importance of preserving our heritage while enhancing the legacy of their traditional and beaded products.

Salisbury Pewter is produced to the highest quality standards. Their various collections have been designed to capture the spirit of American life. Developing and refining new products is a continuous process.

"Tequila is Mexico," said Carmelita Roman, widow of the late tequila producer Jesus Lopez Roman in an interview after her husband's murder. "It's the only product that identifies us as a culture."

There is no worm in Mexican-bottled tequila. Yes, some American-bottled brand(s) put one in their bottle to impress the gringos and boost sales, but it's only a marketing ploy and not a Mexican tradition. There is a worm - called a gusano, properly a butterfly caterpillar (Hipopta Agavis) - in some types of mezcal (but not all). You may also get a small bag of 'worm salt' - dried gusano, salt and chile powder tied to a mezcal bottle.

We have two great reason to party this month: Cinco de Mayo (May 5) and Kentucky Derby (May 7). The following recipes are easy so you can enjoy the party with your guests.

Ingredients, food items and glassware used in these recipes can be purchased at Cocktail Hour.
