It's Cinco de Mayo and in light of today's festive date, I found a refreshing drink recipe from El Conquistador Resort and Las Casitas Village, Waldorf Astoria Resorts (Puerto Rico). This Coconut Sangria is a fun tropical twist for anyone not in the mood for a margarita. Whether it’s at home or on the resort’s 100-acre private tropical Palomino Island, this cocktail is perfect for spa-goers craving a fresh fruity drink in the warmer months.
