There's various methods and legends on this drink. I have heard it called different names too. I didn't invent the name or the drink and it has nothing to do with the plant. Some involve shaking the jar and passing it around, taking a drink each time. We just always pour ours into cups/glasses and keep it classy! Ha. Enjoy!
What's your go-to summer drink? Is it easier to make than this?

ReplyDeleteWhy is it that Tequila seems to be the summertime staple? I'm not a fan of it because I seem to get sick all the time when I drink it but this drink does seem rather delish.

ReplyDeletesounds like I have to try it! :)
ReplyDeletei have to try this!
ReplyDeleteWapatooli (or Wapatui, depending on your lattitude) where I'm from . . . sure fire croud pleaser!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never done it personally but my family has. They say to get it perfect you gotta shake for an hour straight so make sure there are plenty of arms to shake and shake. Taste just like lemonade that "yucca " is what you'll be doing later in the bathroom. Enjoy!

ReplyDeletejust curious what the Yucca(a plant toxic to humans unless prepared properly) has to do with this drink? Is it just coincidentally the name of the drink?
