CINCO DE MAYO – ALL GROWN UP

April 2017 – Contrary to popular belief, celebrating Cinco de Mayo is not synonymous with taking down cringe-worthy well tequila shots and margaritas while wearing cheap sombreros. There are ways to celebrate and upgrade the holiday’s traditional cocktail while limiting the Seis de Mayo hangover.

Meet the Imperial Margarita: a margarita fit for an emperor, made with 100% agave tequila, lime juice, agave nectar and the “secret sauce” – Mandarine Napoleon, a bold blend of 10-year aged cognac and exquisite mandarins resulting in a rich mandarine orange liqueur.

For those who weren’t previously familiar – it’s okay we’ll forgive you this time – here’s a look at other frequently ordered margaritas and what the bartender thinks.

WHAT DOES YOUR MARGARITA SAY ABOUT YOU?

Frozen Margarita
You’re not here for the cocktails, you’re here for the party. You’re not afraid to dance in the crowd and are immune to brain freezes.

Fruity Margarita
You know how to vacation and love spending time by a pool or an ocean. Your hangovers have not hit their maximum potential. You’re not drinking for the spirit, you’re not even sure if you like tequila, but bring on the syrup!

Spicy Margarita
You are a people person, you will make conversation with anyone, and you love leaving your friends to make new ones. You enjoy being the life of the party, but you also enjoy that the spiciness masks the booze.

A Daisy
You don’t love tequila and don’t give into fake holidays. You’re more of a gin person, but like the idea of a margarita. Rutte Celery Gin really pleases your palate – it’s like a “healthy” margarita, it has celery.

Imperial Margarita
You are sophisticated and in the know. You are always down to have a good time, but will not sacrifice quality; you know what you like. You appreciate premium spirits and ingredients in your cocktails. You are a trendsetter, your friends look to you for recommendations for the best new thing. In four words: You are not basic.

Now you know.
