Aside from the abundance of tacos and tequila consumed on the 5th of May, this holiday commemorates the meaningful victory won by the Mexican army over France at the Battle of Puebla. Although it’s ironically more celebrated in the states, Cinco de Mayo is a way we can appreciate Mexico’s rich culture and traditions. So cook up some customary Mexican cuisine, crank up the Mariachi music, and throw a fiesta! We’ve got a recipe for the perfect PALOMAS you won’t want to miss out on. //
