I feel like February is a transitionary month. We still remember January and our New Year’s resolutions, but we are also so distracted by holidays (the Super Bowl counts as a holiday) and cold weather that it’s hard to focus. We are trying to be health conscious, but are also like – it’s cold, it’s February and I need a drink. Am I the only one? I have been searching for creative options that feed my winter blues but also err on the side of caution to my growing winter waist line.
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but tequila just may help you lose weight. So after this breaking new, I went straight to the folks at Vida Tequila to come up with a wintery yet health conscious option. The Russian Mexicano is a take on a White Russian, but this version is more complex, healthier and even caffeinated – and I like all those things. Viva la Vida Tequila! And cheers to Punxsutawney Phil who predicted an early spring.
