"Lodge Bucket" : The New G&T

During my "getting to know you" phase with gin, I was convinced that gin and tonic with three limes was the only true way to drink like someone at a classic movie bar, say Rick's Cafe.

Unfortunately, I tend to cross the line between a good thing and too much of a good thing without thinking. And no, no, no it wasn't because I had too much gin!

I tried tonic water. By itself. It was not good. And I haven't been able to go near a G&T since.

Fortunately, my roommates and I invented the mother of all gin buckets. Here is the recipe!

1. Get a punch bow, or bucket.
2. Add a handle of Seagram's gin with lime.



3. 2 Liters of Sierra Mist (we used the peach flavor)
4. Fruit Punch Concentrate
5. Limeade concentrate
6. Mango sorbet***this is key



7. Apples, oranges, strawberries, limes, grapes or whatever fruit you prefer.




Stir and serve!




It's a delicious punch and conversation piece (yes, it's THAT good) for any party, and I hope you'll like it!
