Cinco de Mayo is upon us, a great time to try out some new cocktails, and our friends at Don Julio have a few recipes that can't miss. Although we all love a good margarita, we focused on other traditional and authentically Mexican drinks for May 5th such as the El Diablo, Paloma and Sangrita. Enjoy, and follow Don Julio on Twitter for more tequila goodness.
