    Porch Crawlers for a Crowd

    If you plan on making these drinks for a party, you will need a big beverage jug cooler to do so. The amount of servings will depend on how big the cups are but we anticipate this will serve about people. If you are serving less people cut the recipe in half.

    You will need 1.75 liters of vodka, 18 pack of light beer and about 4-6 frozen lemonade concentrate cans. Pour everything into the beverage cooler, stir and taste. Add more lemonade concentrate if needed.
