Cinco de Mayo is one of THE most celebrated spring festivities….and it should be, am I right?! With the eve of summer on the horizon, it’s the perfect holiday to kick back, relax, and enjoy the weather everyone has been longing for. It’s time to bring out a burst of color and go big and bold with your palette……both in fashion and in flavor!
Our Cinco de Mayo collection is packed with a ton of festive looks we are all swooning over at HQ. From Cleobella and MISA dresses to neon-hued shoes, the options are endless and above all, Cinco-approved!
Onto what REALLY is on our brains when the 5th of May rolls around….the beverages! While some of us are flocking to our local patio, many of us are trying to determine how to bring the festive vibe into our own abode. The following are just a sampling of some drink options that are sure to be a hit with you and your señoritas:
- Haus Paloma
- Combine 2 ounces Haus jalapeño grapefruit, squeezes of both a grapefruit and a lime, a splash of tequila, and some ice in a shaker.
- Pour into a salt-rimmed glass & enjoy!
- Pineapple Paloma
- Blend 1 ripe pineapple cut into 1″ chunks, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup of jalapeño vodka, 1/2 cup Fever Tree tonic in a vitamin or good blender and strain into a glass.
- Place salt around rim and garnish with a thin jalapeño slice and a pineapple wedge. While a bit complicated….it’s TOTALLY worth the work.
- E’s 10 Minute Marg (perhaps our fave:)
- Line the rim of a glass with a fresh lime. Then, dip your rim in tajin seasoning for a little kick!
- Shake up 1 1/2 ounces of Mezcal or Casamigos tequila with Top Chico carbonated lime mineral water. Perhaps even add a tad more freshly squeezed lime juice?! Pour over ice and enjoy! Easy, festive, and delish!
