Don Julio bottle (from "Don Julio Farm to Shaker Event," hispanichouston.com)

In the “better late than never” category (of which you’re going to be seeing a lot this week) I was invited to a really great event by the nice people at Don Julio. As you may know, I’ve previously posted about this tequila; I’m already a fan. The Farm to Shaker event featured several courses […]

Facts about Tequila for National Tequila Day

July 24, 2015 by Sandra Fernandez 8 Comments

Drinking Tequila Can Help You Lose Weight

July 6, 2015 by Sandra Fernandez 1 Comment

I’m a fan of Tequila. I know, that statement is a little cliche and completely unnecessary, because everyone loves Tequila (or should). And even if you’re not a fan of Margaritas or other Tequila-based drinks, there are Tequila cupcakes, truffles, and other goodies.

WHAT: Texas Tequila & Margarita Festival WHEN: Friday, June 19, […]

Celebrate National Margarita Day!

February 20, 2014 by Sandra Fernandez 2 Comments

I am told that National Margarita Day falls on February 22nd, which is (coincidentally) a Saturday. That means that all of you who want to go out and celebrate can do so without having to worry about the day-after hangover. That’s very important. Margaritas used to be my standard drink order; I became an expert […]
