friyay happy hour: pomegranate margarita
last night, my good friend beatrice came over for dinner. we met when i was still working in fashion but we really bonded over food and shoes. she came over to catch up and to taste some new menu items i'm testing out for catering.
i've been suffering from a cold and her and wes went on a whole tangent about tequila being anti bacterial and helping when you have a cold. now, i was calling a bit of bull honkey on that claim.
but i did some research and it is true that the agave tequila is made from has some great health aiding properties. anti-inflammatory and immune boosting effects were listed as some of the health benefits. so hell, i'm going to give it a go. i'm upping my cold kicking odds of success with some pomegranate, blackberries and lime juice to make a perfect fall margarita.
