The Cinco de Mayo holiday has evolved in the U.S., and with it usually comes margaritas.
The day is not, despite a popular misconception, a celebration of Mexican independence. Rather May 5, 1862, signaled the Mexican army’s win over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, as history.com explains.
While a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in this country the 5th of May has become a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage in terms of history, music, cuisine and generations of families.
