Cinco de Mayo AKA “Cinco de Drinko” & The history of the Margarita
You either love them or you hate them. There really is no in between when it comes to whether you enjoy this type of drink or not. I have not always loved margaritas. In fact, until about 2 years ago, I would avoid them like the plague! I do not know why I did not like them for so many years, but I have a strong inkling that it had something to do with crappy margarita mix somewhere along the way!
There is no arguing that the best and most important part to any margarita is the tequila! If you make it a rule to always choose a clear tequila, instead of those cheap golden colored ones, you will probably survive a night of drinking margaritas. But I can’t promise anything. 
The history of Cinco de Mayo or May 5th dates back to 1862 and the Battle of Puebla. It is not a obligatory federal holiday in the United States or in Mexico, but that sure doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate with Mexican food and of course, margaritas! The Mexicans beat the French in an unlikely victory on May 5, 1862, which led to a celebration! And so now we have come to know it as, nothing else much really, EXCEPT for a drinking holiday. That seems to be a common trend amongst us Americans. Any excuse to drink right? I am not a huge fan of drinking, in fact, I would recommend you stay away from alcohol if you have the tendency is be an annoying or mean drunk. (Probably 1/2 the people I know…sorry, love you guys!) No one wants to deal with you if that is the case. AND never, never, ever, ever think it is okay to drink and drive. Because it’s not & you’ll get caught & it will cost you a lot of $ and you’ll feel like an ass when its all said & done.
