Fun Drink Friday - The June Bug

Ok, so I didn't know they had a name for this, but I guess they would.

 I'm not to sure why they'd name a drink after a June Bug?? :-/ 

Have they ever seen one of those suckers?? They're big flying beetles. 

I remember growing up, you'd be laying in bed trying to sleep and one of those suckers would smack right into the screen. And not a quiet smack, those things have punch! ;-)

I remember my mom making a drink similar to this for our parties.

The recipe above came from: 

Better Homes & Gardens

My family's version would be:

 2 - 2 liter bottles of ginger ale

2 - 2 liter bottles of lemon-lime soda

2 - gallons of sherbet ice cream

Put in a large punch bowl on top of another large punch bowl filled with ice.

And of course for the adults in us :-)

You can add a flavored liquor (vodka or your preference)
