Prepping for Cinco de Mayo with Cazadores Tequila & Margarita-ville

Whether you’re planning to celebrate at your favorite bar or decide to throw a party at home, the authentic Margarita is the perfect way to toast the spirit of Mexico and Cinco de Mayo.
This year it’s more affordable to have a “potluck” party and you get to provide the margaritas. a festive and affordable Cinco de Mayo-themed bash. Put on some party tunes. Instead of preparing all the food on your own, ask each of your guests to bring an authentic Mexican dish– even if it’s chips and guacamole!!
Don’t forget to mix a batch of authentic Mexican Margaritas using the Tequila CAZADORES® 5 gallon Margarita recipe. This way, your cocktails are already prepared and you can relax. (Trust me, this is so important. I have spent many a party playing bartender mixing double pitchers of drinks finding that within 15 -20 minutes they were empty!!) Byt preparing this large amount of cocktails, you are going to be serving a perfect Margarita every time.
