Cinco de Mayo 2021 – So Many Ways to Celebrate

Spread the love

Cinco de Mayo has become a holiday that is celebrated as much in America as it is in Mexico. With so many people celebrating on May 5th, the ways to celebrate are seemingly endless. Splash Magazines Worldwide has put together a list of cocktails as well as venues that will help you celebrate Cinco de Mayo in 2021.


Together rocker Sammy Hagar and chef Guy Fieri created Santo Spirits and found their virtuoso with Juan Eduardo Nuñez, a third-generation master distiller from the famed distillery El Viejito, founded in 1937, in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Sammy’s history of making world-renowned tequila, Guy’s world-famous taste buds, and Juan Eduardo’s award-winning craftsmanship, bring to life the portfolio of Santo Spirits: The world’s first Mezquila and an old-world style tequila Blanco.

Santo Spirts to help celebrate Cinco de Mayo has provided the recipe to their Santo Oaxaca. Bring the tropical vacation home this Cinco de Mayo and mix up the celebration with the world’s only Mezquila blended with these fresh fruit and tropical flavors. Pair this cocktail with your carne asada tacos and enjoy!
