It’s finally happened, Cinco de Mayo has fallen on taco Tuesday. A holiday we would normally be celebrating with families and friends with great food and drinks doesn’t have to go to waste. Here are some of our favorite festive cocktail recipes, flavored sodas, and sparkling water options to pair with that new taco recipe you’ve been eyeing on Pinterest.
Mex-mosa (recipe found here)
Celebrating with a Cinco de Mayo early this year? We know that no brunch is complete without a mimosa in hand. This recipe uses grapefruit juice and tequila to add a tangy twist. A refreshing choice especially paired with some huevos rancheros or a tempting breakfast burrito.
Spicy Pineapple Shandy (recipe found here)
Just having a beer? Boring! Mix it up with spicy jalapeno simple syrup and fruity pineapple juice. If you want to take it to the next level we recommend using Nantucket Nectars Pineapple Orange Guava juice for extra fruity flavor.
Paloma (recipe found here)
Tired of margaritas? We got you! Grapefruit takes center stage in this cocktail offers a pretty pink color for instagram-worthy pics of your Cinco de Mayo spread. Try adding GUS Star Ruby Grapefruit to replace the grapefruit juice and club soda. Mix drinks smarter not harder!
Flavored Sodas
Maybe you’re holding off on the alcohol this Cinco de Mayo (because let’s be real, even in quarantine a Tuesday is still a Tuesday), but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. If you’re in the mood for citrus we recommend GuS Mojito, Stewart’s Key Lime Soda, or Bruce Cost Ginger Ale Blood Orange with Meyer Lemon. The lovely citrus flavors complement seafood dishes such as shrimp or fish tacos. Or you could go with classic varieties made with real cane sugar in our Mexican Soda Variety Pack. The sweet flavors pair well with savory dishes such as carne asada or guacamole.
Sparkling Water
Don’t forget to stay hydrated! Whether you’re staying away from alcohol completely or just want to pace yourself through your low key Cinco de Mayo celebration, it’s important to keep your hydration up. Keep it fun and festive with Bubly flavors such as lemon, lime, and grapefruit or an invigorating bottle of Found Infused Sparkling Water.
