Here’s one for your Cinco de Mayo celebration tomorrow! 🇲🇽 Tequila Mockingbird! This is a delicious cocktail and one of my favorites. If a watermelon jolly rancher and hot tamale had a baby, it would be this drink. Definitely having this one tomorrow. What is your 5 de Mayo drink of choice?

It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
