This cocktail is a nod to the true significance of Cinco de Mayo. Commonly mistaken for Mexican Independence Day (which falls on September 16th), the 5th of May actually marks the Mexico's victory against the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Supplied with Baker Rifles by the British army, the outnumbered Mexican forces were able to defeat the French military and offer a boost of patriotic pride to the nation.
