Hop, Skip and Go Naked. That pretty much sums it up right there.
Here are the particulars: 1 can of limeade, 1 can of vodka (yes, that is as much fun to type as it to say), and 4 cheap light beers. It's perhaps best when stirred in a plastic pitcher of the ilk used for making Kool Aid and Tang. Pour over ice. Enjoy. Hop, skip and go naked if you care to.
The recipe is not actually mine, and in true Barefoot Contessa style, I won't be shy about my outright plagiarism. A good friend brought the drinks to a board meeting during which we were voting on summer award recipients. She prefaced the pour, "Well, if we're going to be talking about people behind their backs, we might as well do it right." (Like I said, she's a good friend.)
So there. Bring a pitcher of "skip and gos" to your next board meeting. Or book club. I would also imagine it would transport fine in a stainless steel travel mug to this weekend's soccer games.
In Texas, this drink is called "summer beer." I like it, too!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Molly!!

ReplyDeleteGreat to be back in the Sylvia loop! I do enjoy reading your blogs but I will admit, I like seeing you even better!
ReplyDeleteSo if we do this at the next lower school coffee, who'll say "it must be 5 o'clock somewhere?"

There is nothing like a "summer beer" to keep the party goers skip hopping. Two great names for one great cocktail. Welcome back Molly.
ReplyDeleteIn my circle, we renamed these "pantydroppers" or PD's in front of the kids ; )
ReplyDeleteLenoir West: We are waiting for an invite...
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I drink this all the time. We make it with pink lemonade and call it a Pink Panty Pulldown. At last year's school auction, it was the drink of the night and, so that the men would drink it, we changed the name to Grand Slam Lemonade (it was a baseball themed event). :)
