There was a time when “drinking holiday” meant you were either wearing green and getting pinched, or you had a reason to bust out that giant plastic chip and dip set that slightly resembled a sombrero. Now, thanks to the internet and society’s intense need to celebrate something every day, we can toast to Taco Tuesdays (actually I’m OK with that), National Brisket Day (May 28th. Actually, that sounds like an even better holiday) and National Fettuccine Alfredo Day (February 7th. Because…why again?). Even though every liquor also has its namesake day, I think I’ve reached the end of all these made up holidays and just want to go back to the basics.
Like Cinco de Mayo. Now, debatably, this holiday is more for the American audience. However, any reason for me to celebrate a culture whose food I would contentedly eat on a deserted island for the rest of my life is OK with me. Also, margaritas are pretty darn satisfying too. Which brings us to this fantastic giveaway I’m hosting.
I’ve teamed up with Tequila Partida (a favorite of mine you’ve seen around on the site before) and Salt Traders for this Cinco de Mayo gift pack! Just in time for this particular holiday, you can mix up your own batch of cocktails for celebrating. One winner will receive:

I usually like my tequila in cocktails, but I recently tried sipping on some good reposado and anejo and I think I could get into drinking it straight!

I like my tequila in lemon lime soda with some blue curacao.
I love mine straight.
Straight Up chilled! Viva Cinco De Mayo! this would be great for my annual Cinco de Mayo party and @oldspanishdays Fiesta Party!
Straight up! We love a good sipping tequila.
I prefer tequila in a cocktail!
Love Cinco de Mayo! (Which might be due to my love of tequila)
My straight up days are behind me. I like tequila mixed in a fruit drink.
I love a creative twist on a margarita…if it is spicy, even better! Thanks so much for this awesome giveaway!!
I have to mix it! holy cow who could enjoy that straight up!?
depends on the tequila! Generally mixed, but if the budget allows some anejo then straight
To be completely honest it really just depends on my mood. I do enjoy my tequlia both mixed and straight up. If I’m taking shots straight all the way but if I’m relaxing in a chill social environment I would enjoy it as a mixed drink or cocktail (tequlia sunrise or margarita, anyone?) or with a salted rim and a squeeze of lime. Either way it goes tequlia can be enjoyable both ways!!
I prefer my tequila in an old fashioned!
Tequila is my favorite spirit so I love it every which way. In the summer i love to muddle some cucumber, ginger, and mint, top it with tequila and club soda. So refreshing!
Straight up like a boss
