Cinco de Mayo Cocktails: Three Amigos

This authentic Mexican drink embodies the three colors of the Mexican flag – green, white and red.   It also represents the traditional style of enjoying tequila – straight!  However, it’s not a shot; it’s for sipping.  Three Amigos con Herradura consists of a shot glass of fresh lime juice, a shot glass of premium Tequila Herradura and a shot glass of fresh and flavorful sangrita, all enjoyed separately.  What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a traditional and patriotic Mexican beverage.
