I was making some lemonade with a hammer tonight - I didn't realize that the box of concentrated lemon juice we'd bought contained a bottle, and as we'd kept it in the freezer I needed to break the lemon-ice up inside it before being able to slide it all out of the spout into a carafe.
After that, the procedure would have been straightforward, except soon after starting I realized that I'd been following the wrong recipe on the back of the box and had been making a lemon meringue pie. I thought that the amount of sugar it called for seemed a bit much - on balance, it's just as well I noticed the problem when it was telling me to put butter and eggs into it.
It's very nice - sweet, though. And also quite opaque.

I also considered sawing the bottom of the bottle off with a breadknife, but this seemed to be introducing an unnecessary possibility of injury.
