One of Brookdale Chandler Ray Road’s oldest residents, Mary Flip, has been enjoying a special drink for most of her life. During her 101st birthday celebration, Mary said the secret to her long, happy life has been tequila. 

The world fell in love with her simple answer. In fact, Tequila Cazadores reached out to throw her a party, flying out their bartender to make Mary her favorite drink. 

Mary says the drink has got her through many twists and turns in life, like raising six kids. But now, she's focused on herself and celebrated an extraordinary life.
