Jungle Juice
 

What is a good recipie for jungle juice? I'm not looking to make like 20 galons only a couple for a get together with friends.

I'd never heard of this drink before, but I did my search anyway. And my, did I find something big.

Ingredients
1 L Everclear® alcohol
5.25 L (3 1.75L bottles) vodka
1 bottle peach schnapps
1 pint Bacardi® 151 rum
1 bottle 99 Apples® apple schnapps
10 L Sprite® soda
1 L Sunny Delight® orange juice
1 L triple sec
1.75 L bottle gin
1 bottle DeKuyper® Sour Apple Pucker schnapps
4 bottles Boone's Farm® Strawberry Hill wine
8 L Hawaiian punch
2 containers orange juice concentrate
fruit (as much as desired)

Method
Use a large container ie. ice chest or similar. Allow the fruit to soak in all the alcohol for about 4 - 12 hours. Add all the juice and let sit overnight. Serve the next day.


I would reduce all of these amounts by 1/4 and take out some of the 'redundant' liquors to save money and a hangover. You could make a rum version, or a vodka version. Or go whole hog. At the very least, it would be a topic of conversation.

Mmmm, Trash Can Party!

"4 bottles Boone's Farm® Strawberry Hill wine" - now THAT sounds like a BAD idea if you don't want a hangover.

Is that really a recipe, or is it just everything that happened to be in the house at the time?

That is a hell of a lot of alcohol.

Sounds like a huge party... or huge waste.

my recipe for jungle juice:

tell all invitees to bring:

1 bottle of CLEAR ALCOHOL (doesn't matter what kind so long as it's crystal clear...)

add any juice you like, orange, pineapple, guava, mango, grapefruit, whatever you can find... even the frozen cans of OJ, Hawaiian punch, etc.

add sprite/7up for bubbly bite...

sometimes the large parties got a garbage can or tub filled....

others was just a 10qt stock pot :)

jungle juice? hehehehe Thats hunch punch!!!! We use strawberries and pineapple....absolutely NO wine, no soda, no Sunny D or Orange juice and no schnapps and we include Wild Turkey with the other alcohols listed

Nononono!

That is called "Yuck-A-Fuck" and is truly delicious when you eat the fruit. The alcohol absorbes into the fruit (especially grapes) and hits you like a ton of bricks.

I think the point to these recipes is that you are free to 'make your own', just as long as it includes some high alcohol content and lots of fruit and fruity beverage drinks.

I have also been to a "Purple Jesus" party where everyone brought a bottle of booze and then poured it into a big 5 gallon pail. Then everyone proceeded to drink until it was all gone. You could use any mixer you wanted to cut the booze with, and I settled on orange juice. The Tequila/Rum/Rye mix was absolutely horrible, but you warm up to it after your 5th glass!

In my youth, long ago, a "Purple Jesus" was Everclear (99 percent pure grain alcohol) and grape juice. So named because it was purple, and because after people had a swig, their first utterance tended to be "Jesus!" Much beloved of chem majors.

As for the above drinks -- they're fun, but just cut to the chase and mix Bacardi 151 and coke in a big glass. It's strong, somewhat sweet, it's disgusting, and three or four will trash you and maybe make you throw up. The perfect drink for some kinds of parties.

back in my day.. it was grain alcohol and koolaid... :( served in a big trashcan

I dont think there's a fixed recipe for the stuff... It generally just involves lots of alcohol (frequently everclear, its cheaper, but be careful!) and lots of juice/koolaid/fruit/punch/whatever. Just get creative.

Be warned though, the sweetness of the juice masks the alcohol content. Generally if you can taste the alcohol at all, its damn strong. For example--last time I drank the stuff, someone put in too much everclear. You could taste the alcohol, but not too bad. I passed out after 3 solo cups--and I'm not a lightweight. That wasnt a fun night for me.

God... what is wrong with people.

Why not just have a beer, a glass of wine, or something tasty like a gin and tonic?

Three gin and tonics (made strong) can have the same effect and you still have your taste buds in the morning and don't have a headache from all the sugars...

Alcoholic drinks should be enjoyed, even if the aim is to get plastered.

my knowledge of jungle juice is like kool aid (or any bug juice) and everclear

dont know the amounts but...

lots of grain alcohol
lots of vodka
and lots of hawaiian punch but less than everything else.

green goddamn - everclear and mt dew

I always interpreted jungle juice to be Everclear and Hawaiian Punch (or any fruit punch). You can always add fruit in there to soak alcohol and then eat them and to add flavor.
