Breaking Out the Tequila for Cinco de Mayo
You might’ve celebrated Cinco de Mayo, but how much do you know about this holiday? What many mistake as a celebration of Mexico’s independence actually commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla, when France was defeated. Now, every May 5 is regarded as much more than the anniversary of a battle, as millions celebrate Mexican-American culture with delicious food and, of course, tequila. At Columbia Distributing, Cinco de Mayo is our opportunity to highlight the history of tequila in association with the holiday.
