Cinco de Mayo 2023 – Where to Celebrate this Festive Day

Spread the love

Cinco de Mayo has become a holiday that is celebrated as much in America as it is in Mexico. With so many people celebrating on May 5th, the ways to celebrate are seemingly endless. Splash Magazines Worldwide has put together a list of cocktails as well as venues that will help you celebrate Cinco de Mayo in 2023.

Margaritas are America’s favorite cocktail for a reason. They’re delicious to sip but can be a hassle to make, especially for a crowd. Bright Cellars, the wine club for real people, is changing the game with its new line of “Day & Night” bottled margaritas. No juicing, measuring or shaking required.

Day & Night Classic Lime Margarita
Tastes: Sweet-tart, tangy and refreshing with notes of lime zest, guava, pear and sea salt
Suggested Pairings:  Firecracker Chicken, Burritos or Fish Tacos

Day & Night Fresh Strawberry Margarita
Tastes: Sweet and silky with notes of pear, passionfruit and strawberry
Suggested Pairings: Curry, Chicken Mole or Empanadas

Day & Night Margaritas are available exclusively at Bright Cellars. Members can purchase them for $15.73 per bottle as an add-on to their subscription or in four, six or 12 bottle boxes. Non-members can purchase boxes with a single flavor or mixed flavors for $18.50 per bottle.
