Fun Ways to use Cannabis for Cinco de Mayo
Hey amigos! It’s your local budtender here at Liberty Buds in Manhattan, and with Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, we’re here to help you take the party to the next level—the elevated level. 🌿
Whether you’re throwing a taco party, heading to a rooftop fiesta, or just chilling with a few close friends, cannabis adds the perfect spark to your Cinco de Mayo celebration. Here are 5 fun and festive ways to enjoy the holiday with a little green flair.
1. Taco + Terpene Pairing Party
If you’re all about flavor, you’ll love this idea: pair your favorite cannabis strains with classic Cinco de Mayo eats. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds in cannabis that influence flavor and effects—just like wine pairings.
Pairing ideas:
- Citrusy Sativas (like Super Lemon Haze) with fish tacos and lime crema
- Earthy Hybrids (like OG Kush) with beef barbacoa or carnitas
- Fruity Indicas (like Purple Punch) with sweet churros or flan
🍋 Pro tip: Ask us about our terp-rich strains to match your menu!
2. Cannabis-Infused Mocktails
Not drinking this Cinco de Mayo? Go zero-proof and add a cannabis twist with infused drinks or THC tinctures. You get all the vibes, none of the hangover.
Mocktail ideas:
- Mango THC Margarita with a hint of jalapeño
- CBD Agua Fresca with cucumber, lime, and mint
- Sparkling Blood Orange Spritz with low-dose seltzer
🌿 Infused products to try: Cann, Keef, or your favorite water-soluble THC drops.
3. Party-Ready Pre-Roll Packs
Planning to hit a rooftop party or join the crowd in Washington Square Park? Pre-rolls are your low-maintenance MVP. They’re perfect for passing, easy to stash, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Our Cinco de Mayo essentials:
- Flavored Pre-Rolls (think mango or lime) for a tropical vibe
- 1:1 Joints – Keep it mellow and shareable
🔥 Etiquette tip: Always ask before lighting up—and bring enough to share!
4. Set the Vibe with a Chill Playlist and Edibles
Cinco de Mayo isn’t just about going wild—it’s about celebrating culture, music, and community. Create a laid-back party vibe with a Latin beats playlist and mellow edibles.
Suggested soundtrack:
- Buena Vista Social Club
- Bad Bunny (for the party crowd)
- Natalia Lafourcade for something soft and soulful
Perfect pairings:
- 5mg Fruit Gummies in tropical flavors
- THC-Infused Chocolate with a little spice (like chili or cinnamon)
🎧 Vibe tip: Play DJ and let the cannabis guide your playlist journey.
5. Keep It Cozy with a Canna-Movie Night
Not every Cinco de Mayo has to be a rager. Sometimes the best celebration is a cozy night in with tacos, edibles, and a Mexican film or comedy.
Watchlist ideas:
- Coco (for a heartwarming animated hit)
- Roma (for something artsy and emotional)
- Nacho Libre (because, come on—it’s a classic)
Your chill kit:
- Infused Popcorn
- THC or CBD Tincture to dose your snacks
- Cannabis-Infused Hot Sauce (yes, it exists—and we might have it!)
