South Louisiana Favorite: Takko Taddies

[CDavis504]

2 Handles Whiskey (Evan William preferred)
3-4 lbs. Sugar
15 - 20 Lemons
Ice
Water

Start by making simple syrup with water, sugar and some grated zest from lemons.
Slice lemons in half and juice (leave pulp but remove all seeds)
In a 5 gallon jug, mix whiskey, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, add Ice and water till full
Drink

Depending on potency you may want to add more water when the jug gets about half empty.

well then, I want to be near the front of the line BEFORE the jug reaches the half empty mark.

What is a handle of whisky?

 

[CDavis504]

Sorry, should have explained that better, that is a 1.75 Liter bottle. Its the size up from a fifth and as far as I know the largest bottle you can get. It has a carrying handle on it, thus where I'm from we call it a handle.

This looks like something I could make and keep awhile. I love whiskey... I'm a yankee, how do I pronounce takko taddies? Thanks for the recipe.
