1 fifth (750mL) booze (everclear/moonshine/etc)
half a cup lemon juice
1/2 lb sugar
1 can mountain dew.
I'm not sure I can drink a fifth of everclear cut with a SINGLE CAN of dew and a bit of lemon juice. |
hahaha! HOLY SHIT I've never done the math on it, no wonder my liver and I aren't on speaking terms anymore.
To be honest I don't think I've ever made that exact recipe, I've made similar ones but even I don't usually have THAT much grain alcohol (nor sugar or mountain dew) on hand at one time. The above recipe I found scrawled on a piece of paper in the cupboard of my grandfathers old hunting cabin about 4 or 5 years ago...although I wouldn't be surprised if some of my crazy family members actually used to make and drink it before going out hunting. Anyway the recipe is kind of a running joke with my friends and I but never the less some variations of it I've whipped up aren't half bad...it sure does get you some drunk though if that's your aim (of course at that point you might as well just hit the mason jar and let it work its magic without rotting your teeth out of your head).
