IT'S CINCO DE MAYO

Celebrate Mexican culture and heritage with these delicious drinks and snacks!

- Becky G

The recipe for the perfect fiesta is simple: "Good tequila and good company," Becky G tells Us. "My family and friends are the most important to me, so I love toasting to Cinco de Mayo with them." This year, the drink in everyone's hand will be the Latin pop star's refreshing Paloma. "The tequila makes a huge difference," she notes. "I go for Patrón because it's made from only three of the highest-quality ingredients - agave, yeast and water." Pour Us a glass!
