Cinco De Mayo is such a celebratory day in the Metro Detroit area, especially with the cultural connection that Southwest Detroit has on some of us. Let’s have a small history lesson; why do we celebrate Cinco De Mayo? Many people mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day, but in reality, it commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French in 1862. So, how do we celebrate? With good food and drinks which includes margaritas of course! This year, step outside the traditional margarita recipe of tequila and a salted rim. Why not try one of these 5 places where you can celebrate a traditional holiday with a twist on a traditional drink.
