Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Or Cinco de Drink-o as I prefer to call it.  What better excuse than this for a fun cocktail!  Here are a few ideas of what I would be drinking if I could...  Three more months!

Camarena Silver Paloma

2 oz Camarena Silver Tequila 

1 tsp maple syrup 

1/2 oz fresh lime juice 

4 oz grapefruit soda

Combine tequila, maple syrup and lime juice in a highball glass. Mix well. Fill glass to brim with ice. Top with grapefruit soda and stir gently with a bar spoon. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Casco Buck

2 oz Camarena Reposado Tequila 

1/2 oz cassis 

1/2 oz fresh lime juice 

2 oz ginger beer

Combine tequila, cassis and lime juice in a bucket glass. Mix well. Fill glass to brim with ice. Top with ginger beer. Stir gently. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Special thanks to Familia Camarena Tequila for providing the awesome looking and smelling tequila (sigh) for Mr. Hedin to drink today!  There's a margarita with my name on it waiting for a time when I am not pregnant...
