The Cinco Herradura cocktail is the epitome of Cinco de Mayo drinks. Not only does it feature the spirit of Mexico, tequila, but the sugar-coated rim shows off the colors in the Mexican Flag. It can be tricky at first to rim three separate sections of a glass with three different colors of sugar (available at cake decorating and other specialty food stores) but with a little practice and effort the effect can be spectacular.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz Tequila Herradura Silve
  • 2 oz pineapple juic
  • 2 oz cranberry juic
  • splash of lemon-lime sod
  • squeeze of fresh lime wedge (can also be used as garnish
  • red, green and white super-fine sugar for rimmin

Preparation:

  1. Stir the tequila, fruit juices and soda together in a tall (or mixing) glass filled with ice.
  2. Squeeze in a wedge of fresh lime and stir again.
  3. Rim a third of a tumbler with lime and dip in green sugar.
  4. Rim an adjoining third of the glass with lime and dip in white sugar.
  5. Rim the last third and dip in red sugar.
  6. Pour the drink into the rimmed glass and serve.
