May kicks off in a big way! Between Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby, we imagine there will be a lot of tacos, tequila and mint juleps in your future. If you’re looking for a festive drink for the weekend, keep reading for our top picks for celebrating!
If you’re more of a beer person, Modelo, Dos Equis, and Presidente are some great classics. For a local option, LO-Fi Mexican Lager, brewed right in Charleston, is “simple, but luxurious” and made with whole leaf hops. If you’re a Sierra Nevada fan, we recommend the Otra Vez, which is a gose-style ale with lime and agave, or their Sierraveza, which is an easy drinking lager.
If you’re looking for a refreshing cocktail to sip on this weekend, you can’t go wrong with a paloma, mojito, classic margarita, mexican mule, or a mint julep. To kick things up a notch, instead of margarita mix grab a gose-style beer and add your favorite tequila! Gose-style beer is salty and comes in a variety of flavors such as watermelon or raspberry. You can also put a spin on the classic mojito by adding different types of fruit.
