There is no better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a Classic Margarita.

Made with just three main ingredients — tequila, orange liqueur (like Cointreau or triple sec), and fresh lime juice —delivering a crisp, refreshing balance of sweet, sour, and citrus notes that are easy to enjoy at any festive gathering, this cocktail perfectly captures the spirit and flavors of Mexico.

The Margarita is deeply tied to Mexican culture and has become an iconic cocktail worldwide, especially popular during the Cinco de Mayo celebrations as a way to honor Mexican heritage and the historic victory at the Battle of Puebla. Its simplicity, versatility, and crowd-pleasing taste make it the unofficial drink of the holiday.
