Cinco De Mayo is not just about the celebration and eating an endless number of tacos. What about the margaritas?

It’s one of the most popular cocktails out there. The iced cold tequila drink pairs perfectly with your favorite kind of Mexican food or even just a nice bowl of chips and guac.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
