Cinco De Mayo is just around the corner, and at Agave Lux, we’re gearing up for a fiesta like no other! Join us as we delve into the history, traditions, and of course, the spirits that make this Mexican celebration so special.

History and Significance:
Cinco De Mayo, or the Fifth of May, commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. While it’s often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day (which is celebrated on September 16), Cinco De Mayo holds significant cultural importance, particularly in the state of Puebla, where the battle took place.

Traditional Celebrations:
Across Mexico and in many parts of the United States, Cinco De Mayo is celebrated with lively parades, music, dancing, and of course, delicious food and drinks. It’s a time for communities to come together to honour Mexican heritage and culture.

Agave Spirits for the Occasion:

No Cinco De Mayo celebration is complete without the quintessential agave spirits that have become synonymous with Mexican culture. From the bold and earthy flavours of Mezcal to the smooth and versatile Tequila, Agave Lux has everything you need to elevate your festivities.

Featured Cocktails:

• Classic Margarita: A timeless favourite featuring Tequila, lime juice, and triple sec, served with a salted rim.
• Mexican Old Fashioned: A sophisticated twist on a classic, blending Tequila, agave nectar, and bitters for a rich and aromatic experience.
• Tommy’s Margarita: A modern take on the traditional Margarita, substituting triple sec with agave nectar for a smoother, more nuanced flavour.
• Spicy Margarita: A bold and zesty concoction made with Tequila, lime juice, agave nectar, and a kick of heat from jalapeño slices.

Food Pairings:
