Celebrate Cinco de Mayo and quench your thirst with this DIY cocktail!

Today is Cinco de Mayo and for a lot of us, it's a time to party and drink! Of course: Cino de Mayo is a Mexican celebration commemorating their victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla.

While shots of tequila seem appropriate for the occasion, enjoying tequila as a long drink — a cocktail! — can and will definitely serve as a thirst quencher.

Patrón, one of the most prominent tequila brands in the market, just shared a super doable cocktail recipe we can accomplish at home. It's called Patrón Paloma and it's a much more sophisticated cocktail than the usual Margarita. 

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

• 50 ml Patrón Silver
• 60 ml Pomelo Juice
• Soda water
• 1 pc dehydrated lime wedge

To make the Patrón Paloma, all you need to add to a shot or two of Patrón Silver are grapefruit or pomelo juice, lime juice, and soda water to fill the glass. Then, add the dehydrated lime wedge to the top of your glass for garnish.
