CINCO DE MAYO

0

A tart, fruity tequila sour with raspberry, strawberry liqueur and agave, with a savoury edge from red bell pepper. A small float of mezcal adds a smoky note on top. Created by Trinh Quan Huy-Philip in 2015.

Trinh Quan Huy-Philip of Huydini Philosophy in Vietnam created the Cinco de Mayo to mark Mexico's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla. Tequila as the base stands for national pride, lemon juice for the struggle, and mezcal's smokiness honours those who fought. The drink was presented at Vinexpo in Bordeaux through the Swizzle Masters Competition.
