Cinco de Mayo has always been about the ritual—something cold in your hand, something citrusy on the palate, something that makes the moment feel like a celebration. But with more people leaning into alcohol alternatives—from Dry January holdovers to year-round moderation—that ritual is evolving.
This year, the party doesn’t have to include tequila to feel like one.
If your Cinco plans lean more cerveza than cocktail, Mash Gang is worth a look.
Founded in 2020 as an experiment between four friends, the brand has since brewed more than 200 alcohol-free beers, earning serious recognition—including multiple Brewer of the Year nominations and a dominant presence on Untappd’s top-rated NA beer lists.
The lineup doesn’t play it safe:
Chug – a hazy IPA with bold, hoppy characterGlug – a crisp, easy-drinking cerveza-style lagerJourney Juice – a fruited hazy pale ale with bright, juicy notesLesser Evil – a rich chocolate cherry stoutThe goal is simple: deliver the full craft beer experience without the alcohol—and without the trade-offs.

Señorita: A Tequila Alternative That Plays the Part
Cinco de Mayo without something margarita-adjacent? That’s a tough sell—unless you’ve got a convincing substitute.
Señorita’s 1777 THC spirit steps in with a familiar foundation—agave and lime—layered with dragon fruit and a subtle chili finish. Designed for mixing or sipping, it delivers 10mg of THC per pour in a 750mL bottle, offering a cocktail-style experience without the alcohol.
And if you want something ready to crack open, their canned margarita lineup leans fully into the fiesta:
Lime Jalapeño MargaritaGrapefruit PalomaMango MargaritaRanch WaterEach is made with real juice and organic agave, available in both 5mg and 10mg options—light, portable, and built for sharing.
Cinco de Mayo isn’t really about what’s in the glass—it’s about the feeling that comes with it. And increasingly, that feeling is less about alcohol and more about choice. Whether it’s a hop-forward NA beer, a citrusy THC seltzer, or a margarita-inspired mocktail with a twist, the options are expanding—and the party’s still very much on.
