Instructions
Start with a 1 gallon Glass ‘Yucca’ jar (a one gallon pickle jar works just fine).
Cut 4 lemons in half and squeeze the juice into the jar (put lemons in jar after squeezing).
Add 3/4 cup of sugar.
Fill to about half full with ice.
Cut 4 more lemons in half and squeeze (put lemons into jar after squeezing).
Add 3/4 cup of sugar (1-1/2 cup total).
Fill jar to top with ice.
Pour in one fifth of vodka.
Refill to top with ice.
Close jar, wrap in towel, shake until towel is frozen to the jar; this requires lots and lots of shaking.

Drinking Rules
Pass the jar around the group in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, do not change after starting.
Each person gets one drink.
Do not put the jar down. Whoever puts the jar down must have another drink.
No jumping line or changing the drinking order. Violator must have another drink.
Continue until the jar is empty.
You may now put the jar down or make another batch.

Drinking Tips
Roll and smash the lemons before cutting them in half (makes them easier to squeeze)
Tape the towel on the jar so it does not come off (duck tape works great).
Do not cheet on the shaking, it takes a lot to disolve the sugar.
Each person must take his or her turn shaking. (It will go around several times)
Shake the jar to level the lemons before you drink so the lemons and ice do not hit your nose.
