Fiesta! Cinco de Mayo is celebrated annually on May 5. It’s a popular holiday in the United States, many don’t know what it is we’re all celebrating each year. While often mistaken in the U.S. to be Mexico’s Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo actually celebrates Mexico’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
Now that I’ve clarified the true meaning behind Cinco de Mayo I would love to share with you this year’s celebration cocktail recipe.
