We sat down with Maggie and she tells us:  She has been in the healthcare industry for over 35 years and has a love for craft cocktails! “I know, probably not the best combination but that is just the way it goes”.  She grew up in a small Texas town and was introduced to spirits and beer at a young age 😊.  Her father loved a variety of beer but really had a love for Bourbon.  She was a beer drinker through her early high school and college years, and it wasn’t until much later in life that she starter experimenting with craft cocktails.  She tells us:  “I love to get a specialty drink- usually a Martini – especially on vacation or at dinner.”   She loves to try something new or the recommended cocktail.  When pandemic hit in 2020, and we were all locked in our homes, she started trying many different drinks and making videos and then MIx it up with Maggie was born on YouTube.  A live show on Friday evenings of me making cocktails and having conversations with my audience.  There are currently 73 episodes under her belt and over 200 cocktails made.   “I do have a few favorites I will share with you in this blog”

February is the month of LOVE  -  Her absolute favorite dessert cocktail for this time of year or anytime really, is the Chocolate Martini.  Those that know her, know this is her choice over chocolate cake every time!  Daily, you can find Maggie sharing her fitness journey on Facebook.
