      For the much-missed Virginia Zavatto, who allowed her beautiful honeysuckle to be decimated so that, drop by drop, her youngest could attempt (unsuccessfully) to fill a Dixie cup with that wildflower’s delicious liquid. You never discouraged me from the impossible—and so I thought anything was possible. Even honeysuckle cocktails.
