TOM COLLINS
Almost nothing is more refreshing on a hot day than a Tom Collins, perhaps the Platonic ideal of gin (use the good stuff, says Reiner), lemon juice, bubbles, and sugar.

Steps:
- Combine the vinegar, salt, sugar and peppers in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, just until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool. Drain the peppers with a slotted spoon and transfer to a medium bowl, reserving the pickling liquid. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, place the bacon lardons in a large skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
- Add the bacon to the bowl with the pickled peppers, then stir in the blue cheese and olives. Lightly dress with olive oil and reserved pickling liquid to taste.
- Spoon half of the pepper relish onto a serving platter. Top with the iceberg. Spoon the remaining relish on top of the lettuce. Serve!
