Cinco de Mayo Drinks

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that has a bit of a debate about the reason for the celebration. Here in America, the common thought is that Cinco de Mayo is celebrated as a Mexican Independence Day. However, that day is actually celebrated in Mexico on September 16th. Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, actually is to celebrate a victory over French forces in a specific battle. That is why Mexicans here in America celebrate Cinco de Mayo usually with some partying and some Cinco de Mayo drinks. America is a culturally diverse country, and as such, everyone is welcome to partake in the festivities of Cinco de Mayo.

Raise a glass and celebrate with some truly awesome Cinco de Mayo drinks.
