While our experiences and approaches to fitness couldn’t be more different, our bottom line is the same: the point of being fit, especially in your fifties, is to be able to do whatever you wanna do. From hard and heavy (Cheryl) to slow and steady (Stasha), from physical strength (Cheryl) to mental toughness (Stasha), we breakdown the hows and whys of working out, working hard, and working hard enough keep kicking ass. With a cocktail in one hand and maybe a dumbbell in the other, we get real about getting and staying fit.
Stasha: Grapefruit Margarita
· 2 oz. of Jose Cuervo® Tradicional® Plata
· 1 1/2 oz. ruby red grapefruit juice (Fresh is best, but let’s be real here; good quality store-bought is fine.)
· 2 teaspoons of agave nectar (more or less) to taste
· 1 grapefruit cut in wedges
· Salt or sugar for rim
Rub a slice of lime around the edge of the glass and then dip the rim of the glass lightly in a plate of salt or sugar. Set aside to dry.
Add the grapefruit juice, Jose Cuervo® and agave nectar into a cocktail shaker.
Shake.
Pour over ice and enjoy!
