CINCO DE MAYO COCKTAILS
Published on May 1, 2019 | Last Updated on March 9, 2020
One of my favorite holidays is on Sunday and even though I’ll be traveling, you better believe I’ll be celebrating with a margarita in hand! I absolutely love Mexico – the food, dresses, Otomi pattern you name it, I’m here for it! We are headed to Punta Mita, Mexico in a few weeks and I’m getting ready by celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a hydrating margarita recipe. I promise I will post a trip recap after this stay in Punta Mita as I know many of you have asked.
There are so many great margarita recipes and inspirations on my Pinterest page and blog that you can find below, but I have a new fresh recipe for you! The older I get the more focused I am on cocktail recipes that will minimize the next day sluggish feeling. I made a spin on the flavors of a Pina Colada and Skinny Margarita on the rocks. Cheers!

Hydrating Cinco Margarita
Ingredients
-
3 oz Canned coconut water ( in Mexico they serve it straight out of the fresh baby coconut, but I don’t trust myself with a big machete, so we will stick to TJ coconut water)
-
1 oz Canned pineapple juice (fresh if you can find would be better, but I used canned Dole)
-
2 oz Blanco tequila
-
½ a lime juice, squeezed
-
Lots of ice
Garnishes
-
Limes
-
Sliced pineapple (I buy pre sliced at TJ)
-
TJ chile lime seasoning
Mix all the ingredients together and pour over ice. To garnish, place slices of limes floating in glass and one pineapple spear with a dusting of TJ chile lime on the edge. It visually lets your guest know that this margarita is slightly tropical and is delicious.
