A great non-margarita cocktail for Cinco de Mayo by Navarro Carr

A great alternative to the margarita this Cinco de Mayo by Anthony Alba

Cinco de Mayo is less than one week away and Pinnacle Vodka has created a festive cocktail to celebrate! So think outside the traditional tequila box and have your own Whipped Fiesta!

Mezcal is a really diverse spirit to use in cocktails. It seems to like to be paired with many different types of flavors and work successfully. This time I wanted to highlight another favorite ingredient of mine as well, which is Matcha Green Tea.

This creative twist on a margarita encompasses all the sweet smells and tastes of the agave nectar plant, combined with the sour compliment of fresh lime juice and Peligroso Tequila, making the experience hit all your tastebuds with full force.

The sangre orange margartia is the epitome of spicy and tangy, combined in a cocktail. The blends of Jalapeño and blood orange create a hot and sour sensation, making your taste buds cringe with delight, while the Peligroso Tequila adds for a smooth delivery.

Visually it’s a stunning hue of bright orange and the scent is dominated by the bitter orange fragrances & flowery notes. All of that adds to the refreshing sensation of flavor that will leave your mouth watering for more. This eclectic mix will make your taste buds sing OH SOLE MIO!!

There’s a couple of things that I really love. One of which is Mezcal and the other was orgeat syrup. The reserved rum balances this cocktail perfectly and provides this classic gem a whole new dimension. May you imbibe well
