Cinco de Mayo is here, but we're calling it Coffee de Mayo and celebrating the best way we know how.

The holiday not only celebrates an important day in Mexican freedom, but it's also a great excuse to drink coffee... among other things. Make it a forgettable (yet energetic one) one with these caffeinated cocktail recipes below:
