Place flour, salt, and sugar into food processor bowl; pulse a few times to combine. Add lard and 4 Tbs. butter to bowl and pulse until mixture is a fine meal. Add remaining 8 Tbs. butter and pulse until mixture has pea-size pieces.
Drizzle vodka and water over mixture and pulse just until dough comes together in a large chunk on one side of the food processor bowl.
