Mexican Flag Cocktail

Coctel Bandera Mexicana
Mexican Drink Recipe Matches Flag Colors

The Mexican Flag Cocktail is a fun and different drink recipe to help recognize our southern neighbors and celebrate Cinco de Mayo. "Coctel Bandera Mexicana" is the way you say it in Spanish. The Mexican martini has the colors of the Mexican flag built into the recipe.











The fruit or the alcohol used in this Mexican cocktail drink recipe represents the colors of the Mexican flag: red, white and green.

This Mexican Martini Drink Recipe also uses the national drink of Mexico - tequila.

As with so many drinks (and food items) there are several recipes for this Mexican drink. I include what I believe are the two most popular.
