McKenna met Kristina through – you guessed it – the American Advertising Federation. Kristina participated as a judge for the 2019 American Advertising Awards in Madison, WI – an event McKenna co-chaired.

Drink Pairing
Kristina’s Pick: Mezcal Margarita
No, the margarita from the image above isn’t a Mezcal margarita but it was a delicious watermelon margarita (recipe courtesy of New York Times Cooking). If you’re itching for a Mezcal margarita, though, here’s how it’s done, according to Difford’s Guide:
- 1 1/2 fl oz Mezcal
- 3/4 fl oz Triple sec
- 3/4 fl oz lime juice
- 1/6 fl oz agave syrup
- 1/2 pinch salt
SHAKE with ice and strain into an ice-filled glass. Enjoy.
