Yucca drink

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 Limes, halved
5 Lemons, halved
1 Orange, halved
1 cup Sugar
1 Fifth tequila
Crushed ice

Directions

I found out about yucca while on a camping trip. I don't know where the name came from. Here's the recipe: Squeeze the juice from the fruit into a large jar like the type you make sun tea in. Toss in the peels. Add the sugar, and fill with crushed ice.

Add the whole fifth of tequila, put the lid on and shake well.

While sitting around the campfire one evening some friends introduced us to yucca. When the jar gets passed to you, you give it a shake, twist off the lid and have a gulp. There is a ritual that goes with it. If you don't shake it first you loose a turn. If you take too small of a drink, you must drink more until everyone is satisfied that you didn't cheat yourself. If you take too big of a drink, you have to buy the tequila for the yucca jar for the next evenings campfire. Kinda like the dumb things we did in college, but sitting around the campfire kinda brings out a different person than when you're at home and have to be responsible. Gives you a chance to loosen up. And it tastes great! Posted to bbq-digest V5 #061
