Juana of Castile, Part 1

Juana of Castile, Part 1

You’ve been asking for her for a long time. (Many of you. Loudly.) And here she is!

We will refrain from calling her that all to familiar moniker, but we’ll call her the one, the only Juana of Castile. Though, honestly all that respect is thrown right on out the window when you see our cocktail is called the La Vida Local cocktail.

Guess what! Katy realized she does not really like mezcal! But, a good time was had by all.

Well, all except for Juana of Castile who did not have a good time due to her treatment from her husband, known as… The Handsome.

uh-hu.

But! This is the last episode in our Quarantine Queens series and we are so proud to present her story, finally (possible torture and all). And luckily, since this is part 1, it’s actually a reflection of her happiest years (OMG, how depressing).

Enjoy!
