It has been a blessed, gloriously hot summer so far.  We are long over-due, for those of us Eastern Canadians who have endured back-to-back cold winters and cool summers.  Of course, not everyone has the luxury of escaping the heat with a refreshing plunge off the dock.  Whether you are on the dock this weekend, or sweltering in the city without AC,  we have just the remedy for you:

Iceberg

Prepare slushy margarita:

• 2 parts tequila / 1 part cointreau /1 part lime juice (or cheat and use a mix)
• enough ice for a thick slush;  blend

 In a tall (ideally frosted!) beer glass:

• Wet rim of glass with lime; rim with salt
• Pour beer to 1 inch top of glass (any beer with a light-ish lager taste – Dos Equis, Heineken, Modelo; not Corona…too cliché)
• Top with 2-3 inches of slushy margarita

A few days this summer have felt a bit like walking on the sun.  Icebergs to the rescue!
