Lemonade for Grown-ups and the Yucca Jar!

Several years ago, I discovered the joys of vodka and lemonade. I was in Scottsdale, preparing mass quantities of pico de gallo and guacamole in advance of a Rent-a-Party West/Sewing Circle mashup. It was hot, I was thirsty and there was lemonade.

I occasionally revisit that cocktail. If I'm not in the mood to make my own lemonade, I've found that Simply Lemonade is probably the best commercial brand available. Sugar, not corn syrup, as a sweetener, lemons and water. Can't get much more simple than that.

A short while later, we were shaking it up and consuming the first of what would be many Yucca Jars before the night was over. Definitely a party drink, as each batch makes a gallon. Tastes like lemonade and goes down like lemonade - which could offer some interesting results.

A Yucca Jar can make you dress a little "different"

Many Yucca Jars can lead to spankings...

And the morning after can sometimes look like this...
