Cinco de Mayo

Severe storms Friday afternoon have the capability of producing damaging winds, hail and possibly a tornado too.

Temperatures will be near the average (low to mid 70s) with rain chances remaining low through the first half of next week. Highs will only reach the 60s. We’ll be breezy and cooler with lower humidity. Highs reach the 70s with clouds increasing - especially later in the day. We start off comfortably with temperatures in the 50s.

The Blanco option is a favourite, but if you prefer your tequila aged, then opt for the award-winning Añejo. A reposado is also available, and the Cafe VS is sure to prove popular with espresso martini fans. Cazcabel Coffee Tequila marries a roasted sweet hit of luxury coffee with a spirit fashioned from Jalisco-grown Blue Weber Agave, creating a sweet and boozy treat that’s delicious both in cocktails and neat. Agave Blanco Spirit may be produced by Lyre’s, the non-alcoholic spirit brand, but it’s definitely still worthy of inclusion on this list for all the teetotal tequila lovers out there. With 100% agave, the double-distilled 1800 Silver tequila is light and smooth. Aged in a barrel for up to 30 days, the liquid’s flavour is rich and unique, with notes of clementine, prickly pear, strawberry, watermelon, fig and banana. It’s incredibly smooth – a testament to its creators’ vision of producing a tequila worthy of a Michelin starred-chef’s palate.

The 5th of May marks Cinco de Mayo – but what is this Mexican holiday all about?

What remained was an Anglicized, corporate shell of an event that was once a vehicle through which the Mexican American community could celebrate the triumphs of both its cultural homeland and its newly adopted one. The Mexican American community of Philadelphia provides yet another example of the holiday’s continued evolution in the United States. The radical politics of the 1960s and ’70s gave way to a more moderate and accommodationist politics — the “Hispanic” age had arrived. After many years of being boycotted, the Coors Brewing Co. wanted “to improve its image among Chicano activists” and became “the largest supporter of the Cinco de Mayo as a holiday event,” according to a history by Antonio Sanchez of Central Washington University. Just like the poor and ill-equipped makeshift Mexican army that defeated a global superpower against all odds, Chicanos also viewed themselves as “underdogs” in the fight for equality and justice. Mexico had abolished slavery after its 1821 independence, so the Mexican residents of California tended to reject the idea of living in a slave society. Celebrations would continue throughout the remainder of the French occupation and beyond. In the meantime, in late 1861, under Napoleon III, France invaded Mexico with the pretense of collecting a debt. The CSA had its eyes set on the West and even Mexico, sparking fear for people living in free-soil Western territories. It occupied territory stretching from its current southern boundaries up to the modern U.S. states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Even though Texas fought its own war of independence, it gets included in the discussion as well. One way those who stayed coped with the changes was to form organizations, such as the “juntas patrioticas Mejicanas” (Mexican patriotic assemblies), throughout the American Southwest. As the Mexican American scholar David Hayes-Bautista has shown, California boasted at least 129 juntas patrioticas Mejicanas by the 1860s. Cinco de Mayo may be best known as an overly commercial holiday, stripped of meaning and reliant on stereotypes about Mexico, at least for the majority of Americans toasting with margaritas.

Tequila’s lesser-known cousin mezcal is taking the world by storm — and for good reason.
