Cinco de Mayo and celebrating go hand in hand. There is no better way to celebrate Mexico's triumphant battle than by hitting the tequila bottle all night long... responsibly, of course. In honor of this Mexican holiday, Corzo Tequila has just the right tequila cocktail recipes for you to indulge in this year. Corzo Silver, used in two of the celebratory cocktails, is made up of two flavors, tropical fruit and a peppery spice blended to perfection. For a less fruity taste, try the Corzo Reposado recipe, with hints of white oak and a custard finish. -Melinde Dzabiri
