Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Flecha Azul Margaritas!
Cinco de Mayo isn’t inherently a traditional Mexican holiday. It was actually Mexican-Americans who initiated the commemoration of their country’s triumph over France in the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
Starting with the initial celebrations in states along the southern border in 1863, the holiday has evolved into an occasion primarily for Americans to embrace Mexican culture, highlighted by indulging in Mexican (or Mexican-American) cuisine and beverages.
Celebrate the holiday this year with the Flecha Azul margaritas down below!
