When Life Gives You Lemons...

I'm currently in Atherton, CA at my friend Katy's place for a bit. Katy and Casey had a joint birthday party; party construction was under way. Since they just moved into this new (quite awesome) house, they hadn't quite figured out what to do with the lemon tree yet. It produces a wide variety of insane lemons (some of them are small, some of them are huge. Some of them look like a wizard turned an evil person into a lemon.
So, I made hard lemonade. First, pick lemons. Next, put lemons (sans peel and seeds) into food processor. Process until in a nice slurry. Strain through a wire mesh to get "homestyle" lemon juice of the freshest kind.
After that it gets quite simple; blend the ingredients as follows together, serve cold with ice.
Serve and enjoy!

From Cave Johnson (Portal 2):
"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
