YUCCA FLATS
No clue where the title comes from (maybe the bombing range), but I have had and used this recipe alot over about 35 yrs (damn I'm getting old) You can sit around on a warm day sippin' this and it will go down like a sweet tea, UNTIL you try to get your butt out of the lawn chair and know something is wrong. Body parts have lost...

Steps:
- 1. Get a gallon jug (empty lrg mayo jar is perfect-and it has a handle) Squeeze lemons into jug, put juice, lemon halves and all. Trust me you won't care about the seeds after a few drinks.
- 2. Combine vodka, warm water, sugar in jug. Stir very well to dissolve sugar. Add that large jar of cherries (smash them or cut them into smaller pieces) juice and all. Stir again and then fill the jug with crushed ice, shake well to mix all the goodies and put in the frig. for at least 12 hrs.
- 3. Leave it in the jug if you are on the go. If not pour in a pitcher or drink server that has a spout, then when you are ready to enjoy, just pour over ice cubes and let the world go by!!! *I read somewhere that you could substitute 1 lb of confectioners sugar.

We drink this when we are camping or playing cards. It is a fruity drink that really creeps up on you, but it doesn't taste of alcohol. This recipe is over 40 years old.

This drink has been in the family for years. Its great for parties with large groups of people and the alcohol content can be adjusted for your tastes. "Yucca Flats" is supposedly where they first started testing the nuclear bomb (I have no confirmation of this, only that which my father tells me). Its my mom's favorite drink. It tastes like fruit juice, and doesn't leave a hangover if you don't mix it with other drinks. It does sneak up on you though so drink gingerly. Oh and the original recipe came from a "men's group of travellers", who were drunk at the time, so feel free to use the original "baby bath tub for the container and mix with your feet" instructions) I also have no guarentee of serving size, it depends on too many factors.

Steps:
- Mix all well. The rinds will soak up the alcohol over time. Depending on who's drinking I will use with small or medium sized bottles but they must be of equal size.
- I also traditionally use sprite as my mixer just for the gentle fizz.
