You start with a clean or new garbage can and then you fill it with 20 gallons of water, throw in 15 cups of sugar with 15 Grape Kool-Aid packs and stir it with a broom handle. You add 8-10 bottles of Everclear Grain Alcohol depending on taste then add 40 hits of crushed mescaline and a couple bags of ice. In our valley we call this Purple Jesus and every town has their own version of a Purple Jesus. I love hearing what other “legend drinks” existed from back in the day.

This was the drink served at the very first event I went to with Mountain on the back of his ’72 Sportster. I learned that a bitchbar was a good thing (used by the girl to lean back against on long rides or well this bitch did) and had nothing to do with liquor. We would be up for days and what fun we had. We played Volleyball so high and somehow played extremely well or at least so I recall! While I fondly remember those days and nights looking back, I sure don’t have the stamina for that kind of partying now. Just thinking about it makes me tired; I prefer the peace of the garden instead of trippin’ in the sun.
