Cinco de Mayo is quickly approaching, and that can only mean one thing: Tequila! The problem we’re facing is this glorious holiday falls on a Monday. To help #SAVECINCO I have put together 10 of my favorite Camarena Tequila recipes and provided them below. Of course here at Joe’s Daily, we always recommend drinking in moderation, and on the weekend — so celebrate your Cinco de Mayo a few days earlier and #SAVECINCO once and for all. Enjoy the recipes!
