Drink of the Week: The Original 527

(I feel kinda bad about writing this after the last post, especially because if made correctly this drink will get you good and pissed. Whatevs.)
Named after an infamous campaign finance loophole the 527 was created in November of 2004 while on the way to Awaaz, Duke's huge annual South Asian cultural showcase. Consisting of merely Seagrams Lime Twisted Gin and lemonade, the 527 is a simple but potent drink for the simple reason that if mixed correctly it will taste exactly like a less tart limeade.
Because of its effectiveness the 527 became a popular drink in K-Ville and at many parties ( well at least when Jay and I were involved.
Warning; this is not a sipping, formal social setting drink. Only drink if you have nothing to do that night and you want to relieve your college days.

1 part Seagram's Lime Twisted Gin
1 part lemonade (or add more of either as taste and tolerance go. Equal parts of each is a pretty solid ratio.)
Stir
Pour into any container that's handy. (a jug works wonders or of course the Bubba Keg is always good for causing trouble)

There you have it, the original 527. Enjoy your weekend!! (Take that Wiki-Nazis)
