Cinco de Mayo is a celebration to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire. Usually, you eat delicious food, listen to traditional music and have a great time with friends and family. However, with social isolation, we may need to rethink our approach. Here are 5 great ways to celebrate Cinco de Mayo while keeping the safety of others in mind.
Mix it up with a margarita
Sure, we all have our own classic margarita recipe, but why not mix it up this year with a new take on the typical drink. For instance, why not try a “Veracruzana Pineapple Margarita?” Or a spicy “Caliente Kiss Margarita?” To help you get started, here is a simple recipe you can try:
