    I have lived in La Crosse my entire life and Swamp Water is a tradition at one of the downtown bars.(The Helm Bar It is very delicious. Tastes like lime punch. So cool that she got the recipe!

    There is a bar in Sheboygan that serves this all of the time. I haven't made this recipe though.

    This was a BIG hit at a Sunday afternoon party I had. I used Limeade - right out of the refrigerator section at the grocery store - it's not bright green and really fresh (real limes. I used 4 parts . Also, the small bottle of apricot brandy I had was not quite 2 partss - no problem there. The one part vodka, no need for lime vodka, and splash of lime juice was great.

    Some people said it tasted like a lime lifesaver. The limeade and regular vodka kept the amount of lime in balance. It's super easy, new summer time favorite here in Newburyport.

    Every generation has it's drink to have. This was a fun summer drink but you have to like lime drinks. Wish Sandra would have made the watermelon.

    I live and work in the LaCrosse area, and no one that I know has ever heard of Swamp water. I guess she is right, this is a SECRET recipe!

    This was so bad. The thing that ticks me off is I spent good money on good licquer and poored it down the drain. My fault for mixing with green kool-aid.
    Too strong, too sweet, just nasty

    Loved the recipe with a few changes, I used frozen lime concentrate. When I ran out of the apricot brandy I substituted peach schnapps and it was just as good. Originally had Swamp Water in North Myrtle Beach about 25 years ago and have been looking for a recipe since.
