"This delicious little baby is my go-to drink," Kristin says. "It is one of the best drinks for you—at least on the alcohol scale, since blanco tequila is the most unprocessed alcohol. A skinny, spicy marg, it's light and fresh with a nice little kick. I get hungover very easily these days, and I swear this is the only drink that won't put me out the next day."
