This is Yodka. Yodka was the sixth wheel at the cabin with my girlfriend’s this past weekend. Wait. Did I say sixth wheel? Because actually, Yodka was doing most of the driving.
Yodka is made by pouring one, or two, bottles of vodka into a very large container, after you squeeze in the juice from as many lemons and limes you can fit, and then adding sugar. Lots of it. See the granules caked on the bottom? It’s like one big lemon drop.
We insist on doing shots of Yodka whenever something big happens, like when someone says the word “and”. Or, when we’re watching Ohio State football games and they score. The year the Buckeyes beat Northwestern 54-10, was especially rough on us.
If you think you’d like to try it, be forewarned, Yodka can make you do crazy things…like think you can suddenly shoot pool, or swim laps in a hot-tub, or play ping-pong like you’re Serena Williams, or sing Led Zeppelin on a karaoke machine better than Robert Plant could.
What? I was rocking that joint. And, you totally should’ve heard me playing guitar on my pool stick.

What’s with all the lemons? Isn’t that just wasted space?

Oh man – you just made me miss it already!!
Excellent post; you painted a fun picture of the weekend, and made your fellow weekender girls (I’m sure I can speak for the others) smile and laugh at the memories.
Maeve's Mom
Man does that look tasty. I’m wishing I had some yodka right now. As an added bonus my husband hates vodka so I could have that all to myself!
Rhea
OMG, if you knew how seriously I love lemon drops you would NOT have said that. Damn, now I have to try Yodka.
Misty
hilarious… sounds like fun (and sounds amazingly tasty) BUT I get a headache just thinking about it…
Ms Picket To You
AND… AND… AND…
just sayin’.
BusyDad
Say this, I never thought I could, but Yodka, so much cooler than even Yoda it is.
MammaDawg
lol – I actually haven't heard of Yodka – but it SURE sounds good!
I will have to make some for Hubz the next time we see a Buckeye game. He says he doesn't ever want to live where it snows, but if he had to, he'd come back home to Ohio.
Have you ever made peanut butter & chocolate buckeyes?
YUM.
chefmom
I’ve been MIA and look at what I missed!! i want to spend weekend with Momo and Yodka!! Damn you sound like fun to party with!
holly
i once trained an entire orphanage the words to every whitney houston song with yodka. you’re not kidding!
Lane Boyz Mom
OMG I’m TOTALLY gonna do this for our annual FLAGAWEEN party on November 1st! WOOHOO thanks for the idea;)
DysFUNctional Mom
I’m coming to your party. Invite, schminvite!
isla
I’m so jealous. I wanna drink some Yodka with you!!
We make ours with Arizona green tea ( it just sounds healthy). It has to be Arizona, otherwise it’s not sweet enough.
Jaina
Ooooh, that sounds good!
meleah rebeccah
“or swim laps in a hot-tub”
HAHAHAHAH
I am having some Yodka right now! It works miracles

When I lived in San Diego, the Brazilian girls (not the band) who lived downstairs would mash limes into a bowl of sugar and add cachaça (liquor I’ve been told is like tequila made out of sugarcane) to make caipirinhas. I’ve never had a better drink in my life. Why it’s never occurred to me to keep a Tupperware container of it on hand just goes to show how much less resourceful I am than Momo Fali.
