How to Make Berta

  1. **Make the Simple Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water.
  2. **Simmer and Dissolve:** Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is clear. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. **Cool and Store:** Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  4. **Prepare the Cocktail:** Fill a large glass with ice cubes.
  5. **Mix the Drink:** Add 2 ounces of tequila blanco and 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled simple syrup to the glass (adjust to your sweetness preference).
  6. **Top it Off:** Top the glass with 4 ounces of chilled seltzer water.
  7. **Garnish & Enjoy:** Stir gently and garnish with a lime wedge or fresh fruit (optional). Enjoy immediately!
