Do you remember going to neighborhood block parties or sporting events as a kid and being forbidden from the "adult lemonade" cooler?

What was the big deal? Why was it adults–only?

Now you’re old enough to drink you know that whiskey and Country Time Lemonade isn’t that big of a deal, but Stella’s Fish Café’s Slap Yo’ Mama is. This hits–the–spot cocktail tastes the way citrus–y drinks should: Absolut Citron, the increasingly–trendy pomegranate juice, fresh mint, and fresh lemonade with big chunks of citrus fruit crammed into a pint glass with lots of ice. The end product is sweet, refreshingly, and irresistibly summertime. You'll smack your lips (not your mom).
