Hillbilly Lemonade image

I just found this recipe in my journal from 2002. It was a party drink that everyone had to help make and made the party a little more interactive. You will need a large cotton towel and a gallon-size clean pickle jar. The kind of ice you use is up to you, but we got our bag from the Sonic fast food restaurant cause they have more of a crushed type ice and made the drink last longer. This takes some WORK--remember if they don't help shake they don't get any! Also the ice amount is guesstimated; it didn't use the whole bag.

Time 30m

Yield 1 gallon, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 lemons
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup vodka
10 lbs ice, crushed

Steps:

  • Roll your lemons on any hard surface to soften them. This helps loosen the juice; set aside.
  • Pack the pickle jar 1/2 way with ice. Make sure its packed really hard.
  • Add sugar and vodka.
  • Cut lemons in half and squeeze the juice into the jar, putting the rind in the jar also after squeezing as much juice as possible from it.
  • Pack the rest of the jar with ice. Make sure it is very tightly packed and screw on the lid.
  • Now the fun part. Roll the jar into the bath towel tightly. Make it so it kinda looks like a tootsie roll.
  • Shake shake shake for about 25 minutes or until the towel sticks to the jar--thats when you know it's done.
  • Now remember, take turns or you arms may fall off. If there are not at least 4 people to shake this, you can also sit on a tile floor with one other person and roll this across the floor to one another, but shaking it is the best method.
  • Unwrap jar and serve, storing what you don't serve right away in the fridge.
