This Cinco de Mayo, you could serve your guests a pitcher of classic margaritas, the more adventurous michelada, or something a little bit different.
The Orange Mojo-ito is a nice twist on an old favorite, and while mojitos aren't Mexican, the new variation makes it worthy of your fiesta! To find out how to create this sublime mix of mandarin vodka, rum, and mint, please read more.

A michelada is the only way I can drink beer. This orange mojo-ito looks great, too!
1again... Mojitos are like the least mexican drink of all times!!! they're from Puerto Rico... in mexico we have tequila, mezcal even pulque...
2Never been a fan...
3This sounds good, but I don't think it can beat the mango mojito I got in this brilliant Colombian restaurant in Brooklyn. Still willing to give it a try though!
