Someone posted this a few days ago, I can't remember who but thanks for the idea.

I spent 7 hours on the tractor today mowing. Came in made the drink and plan to spend the rest of the afternoon in the pool.

Here's the drink recipe-

Here's the process-

Finally got to use one of the Larue battle mixers.

Go ahead and hate away on my fruity chick drink. It's delicious.

Looks tasty, but between the ice and the paint can, it looks like it would get watered down pretty quickly outside in the heat.

What's with the glass? You just need a long straw.

I nearly posted the same thing earlier. Then RTIC could copy it. Would be a nice ice bucket for other mixed drinks.

The drink in the OP looks really good but the sweetness would make personal consumption limited, at least for me.

Sounds great. I suggest adding one or two bags of frozen strawberries to use for cooling instead of ice cubes. The wife and I used to enjoy that concoction when sitting out on desert evenings to watch the stars and black airplanes.

Where does one get clean paint cans?
I have a battle mixer.....but don't have the clean can to use it. I'm now intrigued

Posted: 7/1/2017 6:54:01 PM EDT

[#25]

Mojito
gin and tonic
coconut run and pineapple juice

Posted: 7/1/2017 6:54:56 PM EDT

[#26]

You're using Grey Goose for that???

What you have is the start of Hunch Punch.
Save the GG for better stuff and substitute 1/2 Liter of Everclear, then add one can of Hawiiian Punch, toss in a bottle of Marichino cherries, and top off with ginger ale instead of the citrus soda.

My go to summer drink is a hand full of ice in a 16oz cup, 1-1/2 to 2 shots of Titos and top up with Simply Lemonade.

And I drink it with a straw.

Very cool, but I would have used a cheaper but still tasty vodka like Sobieski.

I'm having a pint of Sweetwater 420 IPA right now.

Mojito

$13 handle of costco American vodka is good enough for me. its better than their more expensive french vodka.

Wrong

Its not called a 'snake bite'.

My fav version is Dt Mt Dew and Rebecca Creek

The moment I saw new paint can, I thought, use the shaker at the hardware store where it was purchased.

Lol can't believe you wasted your money on GG period, but especially to drown it in juice like that.

A quick question. How much Sprite is left in the two liter after this? In my head I am trying to visualze this all fitting in a one gallon can..

I'm not a drinker, but doesn't LaRue make a paint can mixer intended to make those mixed drinks?

Titos is good but I prefer Dripping Springs, Grey Goose, and Shevkoff.
