One of the most anticipated events of the month of March is Earth Hour. Every year over 7000 cities and towns across the world come together to turn off their lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30PM. It has become a symbol of commitment towards a better future for the planet Earth.
Now, just because the lights are out doesn’t mean that you can’t have a party. If there’s anything your compadres at Jose Cuervo know how to do well, it’s that we can find a just about any reason to celebrate, and the beauty of Earth Hour, is that it provides us with a refreshing challenge!
Earth Hour comes to us at 8:30PM, on Saturday, March 25th– which to us, sounds like the perfect excuse to call some buds over for a bbq. Why settle for just an hour when you could spend the nights with the lights off and have a memorable cook out, while saving the planet in the process.
Lucky for you, Jose Cuervo has got you covered with a tequila-infused pork loin recipe along with a perfect tequila sunrise recipe that’s sure to complement your meal.
