Gin Bucket recipe

[zombini]

If this is not ok to ask then delete , but it seems like you can get a lot of info from you guys not only about smoking but other things as well.
Does anyone have a good simple gin bucket recipe. I plan on making enough for a 5 gal cooler. I have made before but cant remember the exact recipe. All the google and pinterest searchs come up with the same thing. The most popular has you mixing 1.75 liters of gin with 2 liters of citrus pop and then some frozen concentrates.....seems a little heavy on booze to me.
Wapello is having their annual Chief Wapello days celebration and I usually smoke up a couple butts for sandwiches for folks who stop by. Its supposed to be hot and I figured the gin bucket would be good to have on hand too.
Thanks

If I remember right, the one my BIL makes uses two of the 2-liter Fresca bottles. That may be the missing items in the recipe you posted. Could it be 2 of the 2-liter bottles and not just one? I think he uses one can of some lime/lemon juice concentrate and a little simple syrup also. There is one brand of concentrate he uses, but the name escapes me at the moment.

never heard of a gin bucket. But sounds like something I'd probably drink

I've never made the Gin bucket, but it sounds pretty good on a hot July day!! Make sure you update the recipe when you get it nailed down.

I will admit to making concoctions in my misspent youth that we called Trash Can Punch and Purple Jesus (and yes a trip to the five and dime would yield a clean and new trash can). Ahhh yes...parties at the sand dunes or down by the river would work up a powerful thirst!

Limeade perhaps? this is the concentrate we used for "strip and go naked" back in the day....

1 can limeade
fill can with vodka
fill can with beer

blender with ice.....

If I strip and go naked there wont be a person left on the block but me.

My plans so far are;
2 or 4 liters diet 7up
1.75 liters of gin
1 can of frozen limeade
1 can of frozen lemonade
2 or 3 each lemons and limes sliced up
bag of ice and my blue coleman roundabout beverage cooler.

Its been exactly twenty years since I made up a batch of this. My son informed me the recipe is written on my garage wall somewhere, so today I may be taking down some pinned up photos to see if I can find it.
