Cinco de Mayo has become a holiday where a small portion of Mexican cultural identity is celebrated in the United States and other regions of the globe. An original way to commemorate this is by toasting with another Mexican symbol that has become a global icon: the Margarita.
Cointreau chose the Margarita to celebrate because it represents the encounter between two cultures: Mexican and American. These two flavors are joined to create one of the world’s most popular cocktails, which was born just over 70 years ago in the emblematic beaches of Acapulco, Guerrero.
History tells us that Margaret Sames, American socialite and creator of the emblematic drink, said: “A Margarita without Cointreau is not worth its own salt.” So, let’s follow her advice and raise our Cointreau Margaritas to celebrate. Salud!
