This year’s Cinco de Mayo celebrations will be a bit different, and in keeping with the theme why not try a different spirit. Check below for exciting cocktail recipes using Espolòn Tequila, they are easily created from pantry staples found in most homes, making them simple to craft.

Espolòn’s award winning tequilas are made from 100% pure Weber Blue Agave. The Weber Blue Agave is harvested after 7 to 10 years of growing and is incorporated only when the plant is perfectly aged to provide a full, mature and flavorful product. The brand crafts three expressions of tequila that are available globally, Espolòn Blanco, Espolòn Reposado and Espolòn Añejo.
