This is a block party, beach, day at the lake favorite! I learned this recipe while out with my friends at Jones Beach way back in the day. We had a met a big burly biker dude and he shared this with us and we have loved it ever since. This was back in the Christ the King days, hence the name of this beverage. It is probably the most easy and delicious summertime party drink to make and enjoy.
Directions: Simply add your frozen lemonade to an igloo drink cooler or pitcher of your choice. Next fill up the empty can with vodka two times (24 ounces of vodka total), then in the same vessel add 2 cans of spring water (24-ounces). Add your lemon zest. Fill with ice and serve, enjoy responsibly!
