MARGARITA PIE
Julie McIvor | Human Resources Manager | Bowling Green Holiday Inn
Margarita pie has been one of my favorite desserts since long before I'd ever tasted a margarita - and I (not-so) secretly still like it better than the real deal. Originally my mom's recipe, its sweet, unique and refreshing flavor and its fun, vibrant appearance have made it a huge hit and a regular request among my friends and coworkers over the years!
