We got the chance to celebrate one of our favorite holidays with twin sisters, Bria and Tia Downey.
We got the chance to celebrate one of our favorite holidays with twin sisters, Bria and Tia Downey. As a chef and a mixologist, the sisters are never short for good meals and good times. We caught up over live music at Tulips & Old Gringo Tequila. Tia quickly transformed our favorite spirit into a margarita with a twist, an Avocado Margarita! And Chef Bria blew us away with her delicious take on Tostadas with Ahi tuna.
Enjoy their recipes and check out their favorite boots.
