Cinco De Mayo – May 5th, is one of my favorite celebrations.
Maralyn saw where it all began in Puebla, Mexico.
I like to concoct my own version of a Mexican Tequila drink. Let your imagine go and use a favorite fruit juice. Here are the basics:
Cinco Celebration Cocktail
3 ounces fruit juice or nectar of choice
1 -2 ounces of tequila. The Hill Team prefers Senior Rio.
squeezes of fresh limes
ice
garnish – lime wedge, fresh fruit skewers (pineapple works well), or a fresh herb sprig such as mint or basil.
Directions:
Fill a tall glass with ice, stir in the other ingredients, and garnish.
Tips: We like to add a few splashes of sparkling water for effervescence. If you add Poma, pomegranate juice, your drink will be a rich, ruby red.
Enjoy – Deliciosa!
