The losses in Kerrville and Central Texas are heartbreaking β and among the most vulnerable victims are hundreds of displaced animals needing to be reunited with their families or find a new home.

The Margarita β The most popular drink in America is the margarita. This well-loved beverage likely evolved from the "Daisy" cocktail which was popular in the late 1930's and early 1940's featuring a spirit, liqueur and citrus juice. The perfect combination of tangy and sweet, the margarita is a true Texas classic with the first frozen margarita premiering in Dallas and invented by restaurateur Mariano Martinez in 1971. Craft the perfect zero-proof marg every time, learn how to rim your glass with salt or tajin and garnishing techniques with πβπ©
The Old Fashioned β Initially known as the "whiskey cocktail" and made with whiskey, bitters and sugar (or brandy and even gin in its origins), the old fashioned had its beginnings in the early 1800's. It became a popular cocktail during the prohibition when fruit and water were added into the mix to compensate for lower quality spirits. Post-Prohibition the focus went back on the spirit itself with good quality whiskey or bourbon to become the Old Fashioned we know today. Craft this classic with style alcohol-free. π₯
