“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'”—Jack Kerouac

My first morning V and T is dedicated to the lot of ya!

well if you were here, you'd have four minutes to get hammered. What would you drink in that situation? Me, probably Jim.

Vodka. Bloody Mary. Two of them. Then a nice splash of scotch, to wash the celery down with.

I'm off early today. Going to run a couple errands then try a new recipe that was in the local newspaper a couple days ago. How does this sound: 1-6 oz can sugar-free lemonade concentrate, 1/2 bottle vodka, 1 cup spiced rum, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup limoncello. Makes 6 servings. Well, it's really only going to make one serving, but I think it sound good.

I may be wrong, but limoncello is what the recipe is called. It's a mixture of rum, lemonade and water.

Limoncello is an Italian lemon flavored liqueur

According to Webtender, this is it - the drink Mr Garcia described seems to be one of the many "Cello" drinks that are derived from the below concoction.

Limoncello
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients:
7 Lemons
1 L Alcohol
1 L Water
700 gr Sugar
Mixing instructions:
Soak skin of 7 lemons in alcohol for 2 days. Strain. Boil water and sugar and chill. Mix with alcohol. Store in the fridge.

Creator/contributor's comments:
If the lemons are yellow the drink will be yellow, if they are green it will be green. Also try it with peaches

Well, the results are in. the lemonade/vodka/rum/limoncello recipe is a good one. I didn't quite stick to the recipe. I couldn't find unsweetened frozen lemonade concentrate, so I had to go with sweetened. Also I found out that I didn't have any spiced rum...only regular, lemon, orange and Malibu...so I went with lemon.

Well, it looks pretty much like lemonade, but it tastes like vodka, rum and somebody's walked by it with some lemonade. There's a bit of lemon flavor to it and a nice lemon afterburn (tho I don't know if it just would be the same if I'd have used lemon vodka along with the lemon rum an limoncello). It tastes pretty good, I'm on #3 and much more buzzed than I had anticipated (I did drink a beer while mixing it up).

Good for the folks who post here, but definitely NOT for casual drinkers-unless they stop at one -or less. Keep away from open flames. Oh yeah. the recipe said to chill for 24 hrs. I put a couple ice cubes in the first one then let it rest in the fridge.

Where did this one come from--The Sadist's Book of Mixology? Otherwise, sounds great. Report back at #s 4 and 5.
