Here's a good one for those hot, muggy days at camp or just wasting away in the heat on your front porch with some good friends.

Find any large vessel, a cooler, wash basin, a canoe, the old bathtub you keep by the outhouse that you've been meaning to install for better part of 5 years and a nice heavy boat oar.

You'll need
4 gal of Moonshine/White Lightning...whatever you want to call it (Everclear will work if you don't have any hillbillies or mountain folk on hand)
2 liter lemon juice
10 pounds sugar
8 liters Mountain Dew
(I've also seen people use chocolate milk, orange juice and sprite...quantities aren't that important, you won't really care in about an hour anyway)

Hose down the bathtub and start dumping the above ingredients in with reckless abandon, stir vigorously with the boat oar until good and foamy, let sit, once covered in black flies and mosquitoes it should be ready to serve, ladle into empty milk jugs, beer/soda bottles or into cups with ice (if that's your thing). Flies and mosquitoes are optional, either fish around them with the ladle or drink before they settle in...again in about an hour you won't really care anyway.

Best served while waiting out some bean hole beans, fishing, attending a tractor pull, a bonfire or block party. If blindness occurs dump batch and find better hooch.

Or if you don't really have the time or bathtubs available you can always try some good old Tennessee Tea (recipe from the JD distillery, if I remember right)

1 part Jack Daniels
1 part Triple Sec
1 part sweet and sour
2 parts soda (usually use coke)

Chill mason jar in freezer and wait until frosty combine ingredients in jar...enjoy?

Or if you're really pressed for time just use my all time favorite

Whiskey
Ice

Combine in glass...drink.
