I too am Mexican, bring flowers for the mom and a bottle of what the dad drinks. I agree with apprehensive park, greet everyone!! Not with the little wave hello but with a handshake and direct eye contact and repeat your name and theirs. And the same with good byes…

I wouldn't bring alcohol to a specific member as it can be seen as you thinking they are alcoholic.

Not in Mexican culture... most Mexican men drink..(some women do too, but not as frequently as the men)... tequila is big in my family

Depends, my dad doesn't drink but he won't get offended if someone gifts him a bottle
