Cinco de Mayo is here, and in honor of the holiday we’re bringing you some cocktail recipes that are a little out of the ordinary.
The secret ingredient to the superb taste is Spindrift – the only sparkling water made with real fruit – it makes for the perfect cocktail mixer because it comes in a variety of flavors (think lime, raspberry lime, blackberry, lemon, strawberry and more!) and has no added sugars or natural flavors.

Here are some CINCO recipes to kick your celebrations up a notch.
