Lemon Shakeup

Updated: Mar 21, 2021

Surprisingly low on calories because I use Splenda instead of sugar. It dissolves better, and kills you slower than sugar does.


Tastes like summertime, pools, and county fairs


Playlist: Will Smith/Summertime, Kenny Chesney, Summertime

Ingredients

Large lemon

Lime

1/2 cup Splenda

1/2 cup Vodka if you wanna make it. . . 'interesting'

Water/Ice


Easy instructions

Cut the lemon and lime in half. Squeeze as much juice as you possible can from one half of each into a mason jar (or other 32oz container). Drop the left over rind of the lemon/lime into the jar. It's important, really. I really like these juicers.


Now, put your Splenda in, then fill most of the way with ice. Finally, top off with water (and Vodka), screw your lid on, and shake like a motherfucker.


Remember earlier when I said it was important for the peel/rinds to be in there? Reason being, the shaking (not stirring) beats the fucking fuck out of them, releasing the oils, which really give these shakeups that POP that lemonade just doesn't have.


Make this every-time your mother-in-law comes over in the summer. Don't ask, just make it & hand it to her.


This (without Vodka) has only 48 calories & 12 carbs. With Vodka, it has more calories and more carbs, but everyone is so much prettier after you have 1 or 6, you don't give a fuck.
