Cinco De Mayo Cocktails

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, a day to observe the Mexican heritage and take in all the great things about the Mexican culture. To help you plan a Cinco de Mayo party, I have a few fun options that can take the place of the popular margarita.

Sparkling Paloma

Ingredients:

2 Parts Mescal (If you can’t find mescal you can use tequila)

Small scoop Grapefruit sorbet

Squeeze of lime juice

Teaspoon Agave

2 parts Grapefruit Sparkling Ice

Directions:

Sprinkle salt on a small plate. Lightly wet the rim of a cocktail glass with a damp paper towel. Dip the moistened rim in salt to coat and add ice, set aside.  Combine mescal, sorbet, lime, sparkling ice and agave in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake until chilled. Strain into the cocktail glass and enjoy.
