Cinco de Mayo Tequila & Mezcal: Top Spirits & Cocktail Recipes

You don’t have to be in Mexico to celebrate Cinco de Mayo—but your spirits should come from the homeland of the holiday! Try your favorite recipes or these recommendations below with some of our tequila and mezcal bottles. 

YaVe Jalapeno

If spicy tequila and cocktails with a kick are your jam, you need a bottle of the Yave Jalapeno Blanco Tequila. With notes of roasted pepper, there’s just enough spice to make it delicious without being overpowering. 

Make the Spicy YaVe Lemonade

• Fill with crushed ice
• 1 part YaVe Jalapeño Tequila
• 2 parts lemonade
• 2/3 sliced fresh jalapeños

Unlock other tantalizing flavors when you try the Coconut Blanco Tequila, Mango Blanco Tequila, or the original Reposado Tequila. 

Del Maguey Vida Clásico

All the way from San Luis del Rio in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Vida Single Village Clásico Mezcal is a handcrafted bottle from the river’s edge of the Red Ant River. It’s the perfect bottle for anyone new to Mezcal flavors or a connoisseur looking for classic flavors. 

Make The Piña Cocktail

• Rim a glass with chili powder
• Mix 1 ½ oz Del Maguey Mezcal
