So it’s been decided: you and your friends should skip a booze-filled evening on the town. Instead, a Cinco de Mayo bash will be held at su casa, and you’re the bartender.
Nervous? Don’t be. Mix to impress with signature recipes featuring George Clooney’s very own Casamigos tequila. (If it’s good enough for Amal, it’s good enough for us.) Try these boozey, silver-fox approved margaritas.
