THE GREAT ATLANTA LIMEADE SHORTAGE

11 Jun

The weekend of June 7, 2008 will go down in Atlanta history as the day someone wiped out the supply of frozen limeade concentrate from local grocery stores and left me with only three dented cans of the Minute Made stuff in the frozen juice aisle. WHAT USE IS MY KROGER PLUS CARD, people, IF I HAVE TO BUY THE NATIONAL BRAND? I hope you assholes enjoyed your Summerfest margaritas.

Here’s my recipe for Suburbans, your new favorite overly-sweet frozen cocktail! By “my recipe” of course I mean someone else’s. (Thanks, Abigail!)
- 1 can limeade concentrate
- ice (approximately 20 cubes)
- as much vodka (or gin) as you can handle
- Fresca
- pomegranate juice

Blend first three ingredients in a blender until frothy. Pour into glasses and leave about two inches at the rim. Top with Fresca and a dollop of pomegranate juice – the red diffuses and it’s lovely.

Serves three social drinkers or one “problem” drinker.

However, it’s still not as good as one of Alexyss K. Tylor‘s “ghetto version of an energetic juice drink.” Like in the Suburban, the lime is the kicker!

    Girl drink drunk! Good call.

    We’ll fix some Suburbans for lunch today at work. Is it okay to replace fresca with sierra mist?

    Watching her load the juicer with her bare fingers makes me really nervous.

    Bastards. They can’t have possibly gotten to Murder Kroger, have they?
