Happy Cinco De Mayo! Whether you’re hitting the town to have some fun or celebrating with an intimate fete at home, we’ve got a few cocktail recipes and recs that will help you kick off the holiday – and weekend – right. Hint: We’re leaning margarita heavy this time around.
The Cincoro Margarita
If you’re not familiar with Cincoro – the tequila brand Michael Jordan and other NBA vets created – try it immediately. It’s so smooth that you can sip it on its own. That’s why we’re particularly smitten with this margarita recipe. It has four simple ingredients. Simply add ice, shake it up, and serve.
