A Toast to Mexican Pride and Heritage

The 5^th of May, or Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Though a national holiday in Mexico, larger celebrations are usually reserved for the more momentous occasion of September 16^th, Mexican Independence Day.

In the U.S., Cinco de Mayo marks one of the most important days of the year to celebrate Mexican culture. This year, celebrate Cinco de Mayo the authentically Mexican way, with a glass of Tequila Casa Dragones Joven, for an elegant toast to Mexican pride and heritage. Find Tequila Casa Dragones at a store near you.
