Sue and Rich Gellner Yucca Shaking Making Memorial
6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Anything you want to wear!
Making yukka's was a Gellner family lake tradition. A one gallon container is filled with a 5th of vodka, 7 lemons, 1 cup sugar (Terry prefers 1.5 cups of sugar) then fill the one gallon jug with ice, wrap it in a towel and pass around the group, shaken for 5 minutes per person or a total of 30 to 45 minutes until the jug is frozen to the towel. Then serve as a refreshing beverage! Thank you for the family tradition Sue and Rich!
