    um, good for you and alcohol don't go together dear.

    sorry.

    now good and alcohol, that's a different animal all together, but alcohol is pretty much the opposite of good for you.

    I will say this, if you buy a couple of pineapples, slice them up, put them in a big jar, pour in some (decent) vodka, and let it sit overnight, that makes an AWESOME shot. Plus an awesome alcoholic snack. You can also do the same thing with a watermelon, you just cut a small hole out, flip it over so some of the water drains out, pour in vodka instead and let it sit overnight (plug the hole back up so the vodka doesn't evaporate. And you have a delicious watermelon flavored vodka drink, and some tasty fruit too!

    Delightfully dangerous—a summertime classic with a twist that's for adults only. This recipe is featured in the summer 2000 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.


    Ingredients:Serves 8


    2 cups sugar
    2 cups water
    1 cup fresh lemon juice
    1 large sprig mint , finely chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
    8 ounces lemon-flavored vodka
    Splash of sparkling water
    1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest for garnish
    Mix the sugar and water in a small pot and boil for 3 minutes to make a simple syrup. Let cool.

    In medium bowl, stir together 1 cup syrup (leftover syrup can be refrigerated indefinitely), the lemon juice and the chopped mint. Pour mixture into ice-cube tray and freeze for one hour.

    In a blender, blend together frozen cubes, sparkling water, chopped mint and vodka.

    Pour into chilled glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs and lemon zest.

    Redneck Lemonade
    1 can frozen lemonade (or limeade) don't mix it, just slide it into a pitcher
    fill that can with vodka - add to the pitcher
    add 2 cans light beer. (you can play with the amount of beer to add, we added a little more to mellow it out)

    Crazy good!
