Mike's Very Hard Lemonade

#1 Post by gsabc » Sat Jan 03, 2009 5:00 pm

For the family party and the New Year's event, we had some soda and alcoholic beverage bottles cooling outside, some in a cooler, some in the snow on the deck. They got left out in the aftermath. The ones in the cooler were fine. The ones out in the snow were frozen solid. We thought there was enough alcohol and sugar in those to prevent freezing. We were wrong. It was way too cold, like around zero Fahrenheit.

So Mike's Hard Lemonade lived up to its name.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Sounds like a great Popsicle!

A little difficult to remove the bottle from around the Mikesicle. And three of the bottles cracked. The prospect of licking a shard of glass is a bit more adventuresome than my normal demeanor will allow.

Well pour it into a ice tray or whatever first. :)

On the rare occasions when I have imbibed this particular product, I made a conscious effort to hold the bottle so as to cover the word "Lemonade".
