The Ultimate Cinco de Mayo Experience Is Closer Than You Think

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the legendary victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862 and is not to be confused with the also important Mexico’s Independence Day, which is September 16. The Battle Of Puebla marks a historic movement to live free and prosperously, and while only short lived, is as relevant a message today as ever. In the spirit of commUNITY, Male Standard welcomes you to share a toast to those men who stood up for what they believed in, and took action to help their country prosper. Hornitos Lime Shot makes for a terrific toast, and can sipped on it’s own, or with a group to really get the party started. Made with 100% blue agave, and bottled with just the right amount of lime and salt, brining the taste of Mexico into your home has never been easier or more refreshing.
