Not headed out to celebrate? Enjoy a Cayman Jack margarita at home! Grab a new variety pack at your local shop.
The fiesta has moved into our homes this year, but that doesn't mean it can't be every bit as festive. Tuesday, May 5 is "Cinco de Mayo" and although we aren't able to ring it in at our favorite bars, we're still gonna crave Margaritas or cervezas.
Luckily for us, there are plenty of places offering Mexican cocktail kits and beer specials so we can celebrate from our living rooms or from our computer screens on a video chat with our best amigos, drinks in hand.
Here are eight places ready to help you get your drink-o on for Cinco, but as always, please party responsibly and respectfully.
