This Jungle Juice recipe sounded dangerous at first. Then when I found out what it was, there was no doubt. I like a boozy drink occasionally, but this baby is definitely not for a family gathering with the kids. There are no single-serving recipes for this refreshing cocktail. It makes gallons, well, 1½ gallons, to be exact. That’s enough for any serious adult party. So please make sure to drink responsibly and have a designated driver. Fortunately, it improved over time. And while most jungle juice recipes are still for getting drunk, I prefer going for good flavor. And so, I’m sure you agree this is the best jungle juice recipe you’ve tried.
Can You Taste the Alcohol in Jungle Juice?
Fruit juice hides the taste of the alcohol. So please be careful. It reminds me of Long Island iced tea. It tastes so much like tea that you’d never guess how much alcohol it has until you’re already on the floor.
Recipe Ingredients
How to Make Jungle Juice
Add the Fruit to a large drink dispenser or bowl, then add fruit juices, soda, and alcohol. (Photos 1-4) Adjust to your taste buds by adding more alcohol or more lime soda. Chill – If possible, chill to let the fruit flavor the cocktail. Serve – Once your jungle juice has completely chilled and blended, pour it into the glass. It’s a budget drink, so there is no need to get fancy. Plastic cups, pint jars, etc., is all good.
Recipe Variations
There are several jungle juice recipe variations, each with a unique twist.
Tips and Tricks
Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions
Making it at least 3-4 hours ahead will let the flavors blend and bring the best of each other out. If you have 12 hours, that’s even better because the fruit soaks up some alcohol. Then I like to eat the spiked fruit. If you have any left when the party ends, you can store it in the fridge for two weeks. You can also freeze leftovers.
What Goes With Jungle Juice
This is a party drink, so it goes fabulously with party appetizers. Ham and cheese sliders, pulled pork eggrolls, and air-fryer coconut shrimp are amazing with jungle juice. Or you could just go all the way with a charcuterie board. Then you can enjoy hanging out with your friends instead of worrying about food.
