No, today is not Mexico's Independence Day. But defeating the French is as good an excuse as any to have a drink (or two, or three).
Instead of the usual - margaritas, coronas, tequila - you should drink a paloma. When looking up a good recipe/image for this post, I discovered that the-one-and-only paloma is pejoratively referred to as "the poor man's margarita!" Wha?! That's just all sorts of wrong. Paloma meaning dove. Yeah, like the creature that signifies peaces and purity. Que poor-man's-margarita, ni que nada.

PALOMA
2oz Tequila
1 Limoncito
6oz Squirt (all self-respecting Mexicans know you MUST use Squirt)
Salt (for the rim)
(Recipe adapted from ReeseCLoyd)
Now - you're ready to celebrate!
Órale, now this is how it is done. Un rayo de sol! Sha-la-la!
