Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “White Lightning” drink all over the internet, and, well, I got curious. I figured, why not try making it myself? It looked simple enough, and I’m always up for trying a new, potentially dangerous, concoction. So, here’s how my little experiment went down.
The Prep Work
First things first, I gathered my supplies. This is what I ended up using, you can be modify it!
- Some cheap vodka. No need for the fancy stuff, right?
- A can of Mountain Dew. Gotta have that citrus kick.
- A bit of lemon juice. Just a splash, for, you know, “flavor.”
- A random mug from my cupboard. Because why not?
- Ice. Lots of ice.
Mixing It Up
Alright, time to get down to business. I grabbed my mug and filled it up with ice. I mean, really packed it in there. Then, I poured in a generous amount of vodka. I didn’t measure, just eyeballed it. Probably a bit too much, to be honest, but hey, go big or go home, right?
Next, I cracked open the Mountain Dew and topped off the mug. It fizzed up a bit, which made me feel like a real bartender. Almost. Finally, I squeezed in a little lemon juice. Just a quick squirt.
The Taste Test
Okay, the moment of truth. I took a big sip…and whoa! It’s definitely…something. It’s sweet, it’s sour, and it’s got a serious kick. The vodka is definitely there, but the Mountain Dew kind of masks it. Kind of. It’s not exactly smooth, but it’s not terrible either. I’d say it tastes like a really intense, boozy lemonade. Or maybe like a cleaning product? I’m not sure.
The Aftermath
I finished the whole mug. I can make another, it not hard. It’s pretty easy to drink, which is probably a little dangerous. I definitely felt a buzz pretty quickly. Not gonna lie, it got me pretty good. Would I make it again? Maybe. It’s not exactly a classy drink, but it’s definitely an experience. If you’re looking for something cheap, strong, and easy to make, this might be your new go-to. Just, you know, be careful. This stuff can sneak up on you!
