HOWEVER, in the hopeful case that you find yourself in a more appropriate situation... Make sure you follow my very own 5 point stereotypical checklist to a quality 5 de Mayo:
1.) Tequila of your choice
2.) Limón y Sal (or Chile covered Mango)
3.) Cultural appreciation and knowledge of historical context..............
4.) Cervezas-- Corona, but preferably Dos Equis or Negro Modelo
¡AND MOST IMPORTANTE!
5.) These. Let's leave the normal party soundtrack at home and make this a genuine celebration...
When I was in Honduras (yes, the Mexican native genre of Ranchera has infiltrated almost all of latin america) a couple summers ago, you could not pass one Cantina (bar) (which I was unfortunately not allowed to enter) at any hour of the day without hearing this song blaring. I give you the legendary Mexican version of Elvis, Vicente Hernandez...
(I know every word by heart against my will... kinda)
And if I couldn't escape that song. You couldn't escape my house mother, Ivonne (the Honduran version of Don Corleone) singing this one at the top of her lungs every morning....
But wait I forgot!
6). Tamales to cure the hangover
¡Bien salud pendejos!
