71 - Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman

Enjoy this magical realism story and cult classic film that we can't shut up about. They made some questionable changes from page to screen but honestly we like them both for very different reasons. We talk about which of the sisters we saw ourselves as in high school and reveal which of the Owens women we want to be now. Dig into these details with us.

Episode Drink: Midnight Margaritas

1/2 cup Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice (5 limes)

2 tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (1 lemon)

1 cup Triple Sec

1 cup White Tequila

2 cups Ice (8-10 cubes)

2 wedges lime

Kosher Salt for rim

Add lime juice, lemon juice, triple sec, tequila, and ice to a blender and process until fully slushed. Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of two glasses, and dunk each rim into a plate of kosher salt. Pour your margs in, and commence with a circular dance around the nearest table.
