What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with tequila-based cocktails?

Cinco de Mayo Cocktails

With the warm weather and nice temperatures coming up, it makes you want to celebrate Cinco de Mayo the right way! Beyond the Margarita, there are several easy cocktail recipes to make with Tequila. Here we present our top five. We'll make you feel like you're in Mexico for a cocktail. Cheers friends!

1. The Margarita (well yes, we had no choice!)

Mediterranean Margarita 1642

Did someone say MARGARITA? This is the version of the restaurant Hélicoptère, a real gem in the Hochelaga district of Montreal. It distinguishes itself by putting forward local products, that's why we particularly appreciate it.
