Berta

Before the end of summer, savor those heirloom tomatoes.

And, before dinner, how about a Berta?

Sometime in the early sixties, I was with friends in a little bar in Taxco. The owner was famous for her tequila cocktail. Mix fresh (!) lime juice with honey. Stir to dissolve. Add tequila - the better the better. Pour over ice in a large glass and finish with club soda. Since it is 5:30 in the morning, I won’t check the exact proportions, but try equal amounts of each until you reach the desired state.
