Cinco de Drinko: Fun Cocktails to Make This Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is this weekend, so it’s time to figure what exactly you’ll be drinking for the night.  

Cinco de Mayo, similar to St. Patrick's Day, has become a massive drinking holiday in the United States. It is often used as an excuse to party, get drunk, and go out with friends. That can be a great time, but some people prefer to stay home.

As a homebody myself, I enjoy making a cocktail with my friends and family at home, and having a chill night that way. If you are the same way, or you are hosting a Cinco de Mayo party and want a fun drink to serve, I have a great list of options.

Of course, you have to enjoy some tequila, so I've put together five iconic tequila-based cocktails that not only taste good, but will get the job done if you are looking to get a bit tipsy. Of course, drink responsibly when you try one of these five recipes (or all of them).

If you are wanting to go out in Lubbock this Cinco de Mayo, there are plenty of great events you can do so at.

There is everything from Cinco de Drinko events, a variety of fiestas, food, music, and more. These events are happening at a variety of times from this Friday through Sunday. If you are planning to celebrate with a drink or two (or more) please be sure to be safe and either have a designated driver or take an Uber to get home safely.
