Contrary to the popular misconception, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day (which is September 16th, by the way). In the state of Puebla, it is a celebration of the unlikely victory of the Mexican army over the French forces in 1862.
Celebrate in style with these gorgeous colorful Mariposa glassware pitchers and tumblers. Our favorite warm weather cocktail to celebrate Cinco de Mayo is a fun frozen Mango Margarita in a Mariposa pitcher. Here's our favorite recipe...
