When it comes to celebrating Cinco de Mayo, tequila-based cocktails are the obvious choice. Honor Mexico’s victory with the authentic and bold flavors of Santo Spirit‘s premium Tequilas crafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Rocker Sammy Hagar has harnessed his knowledge and experience in the spirits industry and Guy Fieri infuses his extensive culinary experience to create this amazing portfolio of tequilas including the incredibly smooth Blanco, the world’s only Mezquila, the perfectly rested Reposado and the recently launched Single Barrel Reposado.
Spend the holiday sipping on The Classic Santo Margarita, Sammy’s take on the beloved tequila cocktail. Mixed with a splash of Cointreau and ½ oz of Damiana Herb Liqueur, this traditional cocktail is simple and smooth, allowing the bold notes of Santo Blanco to shine. The full and complex notes in taste are complimented by earthy, white pepper and citrus aromas. Enjoy with or without a salt rim or blend with ice for a perfect poolside libation.
Guy Fieri created his take on the cult favorite spicy margarita with the Santo Caliente Margarita. The perfect balance of spicy and sweet, this cocktail also includes fresh cilantro leaves for an herbaceous kick that will transport you straight to the beaches of Mexico. Guy recommends substituting the salt rim with his Rojo Rim recipe for even more intensity. You can find the full recipe HERE.

The event was held in celebration for Fieri’s brand-new edition to his line of tequilas known as Santo Spirits. The announcement of the upcoming Spring Launch of Santo Blanco 110 joins as the newest expression to the slick, daring line.
The night kicked off with rounds of classic and signature versions of Latin American dishes. Guests were served with Fieri’s signature cocktails that sported tequila Santo Spirits, consisting of drinks like the Santo Smoky Paloma, the Coconut Margarita and even the Classic Caliente Margarita.
Ending the night off strong, Fieri declared his additional new project Knuckle Sandwich Cigars in partnership with Fieri’s dear friend Erik Espinosa. Guests were given new samples of the cigars to enjoy.
