It’s almost Cinco de Mayo Miami, the holiday very few people know what the hell we are actually celebrating. That does not stop us from putting on fake Mexican mustaches and drinking copious amounts of liquor like it will evaporate out of existence the next day. In preparation for May’s most important drinking holiday, we have rounded up some kick ass liquor recipes and the spots that are slinging them. Be sure to wear your best poncho/sombrero for Mexican drinking games and enjoy Cinco de Mayo Miami!

**Live music & entertainment** Mariachi band, DJ spinning in the back lot & a very special performance by Columbia’s own Quantic playing in the lounge from 12-2AM
