Cinco de Mayo Favorites

I received all of the products mentioned in this post.

Are you ready for Cinco de Mayo?  I have some wonderful wines and spirits to tell you about!

The national spirit of Oaxaca, Mexico: mezcal. Mezcal is known to be a “smokey” agave spirit, usually turning people off from the idea, but I am here to tell you that Zignum Mezcal could not be further away from those debilitating expectations!

A name with Zapoteca roots, Zignum means “The Tip of the Spear.” As of today, Zignum maintains its status as one of the leading mezcals in Mexico, in Mexican duty free, and the most awarded mezcal in the world. It is also the first and only MÉTODO VERDE™ (green method) mezcal, made by shredding raw agave hearts and then steaming the fibers and nectar, creating a mezcal with a clean agave flavor that is smooth and easy to drink.

It’s 3 expressions; Joven, Reposado, and Añejo are perfect for any Cinco de Mayo festivities. They are best served neat, with a slice of orange sprinkled with sal de gusano, or mixed into any of your favorite cocktails.

Zignum is meant to exude nothing but Mexican pride and luxury; so look no further for your Cinco de Mayo beverage of choice!

BxSxT Vodka is a 100% craft spirit perfected in a once abandoned laundromat-turned-distillery, based in Eugene, OR (Wolf Spirit Distillery). Its self-taught distiller, Ben Green, considers BxSxT his greatest labor of love. The vodka itself has a manifesto meant to encourage “individualism” and the “maker culture.

Dixie Southern Vodka is based in Charleston, South Carolina, Dixie Southern Vodka is an independent, American-made craft spirit with roots in the New South renaissance. It is the largest premium craft vodka brand produced in the Southeast; the largest spirit brand produced in the state of SC; and won a 2019 Growth Brands “Rising Star” Award from Beverage Dynamics magazine for its rapid growth.

 

BeatBox Beverages known as “The World’s Tastiest Portable Party Punch™,” the white-wine based Party Punch comes in Fruit Punch, Pink Lemonade, Blue Razzberry and Fresh Watermelon. Low calorie, low-sugar, and gluten free, it is 11.1% ABV. Additionally, the 3 founders received a $1M investment from mark Cuban via Shark in 2014; this was the biggest investment the show had ever made at the time.

You have so many choices to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.  Please drink responsibly!
