We have always celebrated Cinco de Mayo. I’m sure that a large part of that is because I spent a majority of my time in Southern California. If you’re planning to have a get-together, consider some of these fun Cinco de Mayo cocktails. Check out our Low Calorie Recipes for Cinco de Mayo, too.
Flirty Fiesta Margarita
Something a little on the sweeter side, with a bit of fizzy carbonation.
- 1 part Sauza® Blue Silver 100% Agave Tequila
- ½ part DeKuyper® 03 Premium Orange Liqueur
- 3 parts cran-raspberry juice
- 1½ parts lemon-lime soda
- 1 part sanding salt
- 1 lime wedge (for garnish)
Preparation: Run a lime wedge around half the lip of a glass and dip in sanding sugar to rim. Combine all ingredients in a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Salsa at Sunset
A take on the ever popular Tequila Sunrise.
- 1 part Sauza® Blue Reposado 100% Agave Tequila
- 1 part orange juice
- 1 dash grenadine
- Lemon wedge (for garnish)
Preparation: In a glass filled with ice stir together orange juice and tequila. Pour the dash of grenadine down the side so that it settles to the bottom of the glass. You may wish to use a spoon to help you with this. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Margarita de Celebracion – low calorie cocktail
A hot and spicy low calorie cocktail that makes a great addition to your gathering.
- 5 parts Skinnygirl Margarita®
- Sliced Jalapenos, muddled
- Lime Wedge, for garnish
- Salt for rim
Preparation: Salt the rim of a margarita glass. Pour Skinnygirl Margarita over ice and add muddled jalapenos. Garnish with lime wedge and enjoy!
Will you be adding any of these Cinco de Mayo cocktails to your festivities?
These all three sound amazing! I love festive cocktails!
The Margarita sounds tasty and I love that it’s low calorie.
Great recipes. Even though Cinco De Mayo is over these are great to go with a fiesta or just mexican dinner night! The salsa at sunset looks so good.
We love to celebrate it too and did this year! We used to go out, but after my son was born we started just making some good food at home! The Salsa at Sunset drink is so pretty and I bet it’s tasty too!
They all look good! And so pretty, too…..
