The most fun I had at parties in between 18-21 was doing a thing we called Yucca. Yucca has two properties:
1. It's almost pure alcohol, you and everybody at the party will black out and make bad decisions
2. It doesn't taste like anything but cold sugar, so it works co-ed unlike a lot of other dangerous drinks.
Because of these properties, everybody who comes to a Yucca night pretty much has to be OK with getting absolutely shit-housed. But, because everyone is OK with it, it's an extraordinarily fun time. I can't emphasize this enough, even the most experience drinkers will get dopey after 1 or two rounds of this. You absolutely do not get your normal drunk warning signs before getting overwhelmed by the stuff.
Yucca is:
1 750ml of Everclear
12 Lemons
12 Limes
1 Pound of Sugar
1 Bag of Convenience Store Ice
Cut the fruit in half, dump all the ingredients in a bucket (key!) including the fruit halves (though you can squeeze them first before you dump them. Then you pass around the bucket. I really recommend against using ladles or cups because the massive amounts of ice are doing the majority of the heavy lifting when it comes to masking the everclear taste and numbing your tastebuds (and sense of how much you're drinking). From personal experience, I can say that if you can get enthusiastic people involved in making it, and keep some fun around the passing of the bucket (chug chants are always fun), then people who normally don't do 3 shots worth of grain alcohol at once will, and everyone will have a great time. |
