The first entry for The Mull-Off:
Mulligreenie
1 can of frozen limeade
1 can of frozen lemonade
Water, to suit*
A bottle of vodka **
Pour over crushed ice
* Depends on occasion: a high school reunion calls for much less water than a baby shower.
** Size absolutely does matter, and as with a good tale, it should be adjusted according to attendees and occasion.
Warning:
You will have women ask you to add pineapple juice, frozen fuzzy navel mix, ice cream, sparkling water, cranberry cocktail juice, ginger ale, soda, or fresh fruit to this concoction.
Men yearn to enhance it with a darker, more manly hard liquor.
It needs neither.
--submitted by Cousin Pam from Iowa
Some of you may have noticed that the recipe above is not heated, and therefore not technically a mulled drink. This is true. But I am accepting the submission anyway for four reasons:
1) While the rest of you were just thinking about submitting something, she actually did it.
2) I was not all that clear—until now—in the instructions.
3) It's witty.
4) It has the word "Mull" worked into the title.
5) I can deny my cousin Pam nothing.
