Every so often I like to bring a little booze on a backpacking trip. My current cocktail of choice is Lynchburg Lemonade. My criteria for a good drink is that it is reasonably light and tastes good in the warm desert without ice.
My recipe:
1 liter Nalgene more than 1/2 full
crystal light lemonade to taste (Wal Mart brand works too)
Early Times Whiskey to taste

(the bottles are perfect for fittng in a pack)
Some people may say, why bother with the lemonade? But I have to hydrate , you know.
Any other winning recipes out there.
