If you're looking to do some celebrating for Cinco de Mayo this year, you'll want to stock up on these five Mexican beers and tequilas, because they're Minnesota's favorites.

The holiday Cinco de Mayo is fast becoming one of the most celebrated holidays here in Minnesota, especially this year since it falls on a Friday. While it is a day to celebrate Mexican culture and heritage, the History Channel says it actually commemorates the date of the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, which happened on May 5, 1862.

If you're doing some Cinco de Mayo celebrating this year, and if you're like me, you might partake in a Mexican beverage or two. The guys over at Minnesota Bets wondered just WHICH Mexican beers and tequilas were the most popular here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
