Hibernation with a Kick

With all this talk to the Polar Vortex and the freezing cold temperatures we've been seeing the last week or so, there is nothing I look forward to more than hibernating in my living room with a drink and a marathon of my favorite show (currently its Bar Rescue).

Although the walk from my parking lot to my apartment isn’t long its enough to freeze me from the inside out. Now, I don’t know about you but something about tequila makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

So as you check the weather report and contemplate selling everything you own and moving to Florida, why not make yourself a fruity margarita to take a bit of that frost bite off your soul!
