    Pro Tips: Jungle Juice For A Crowd

    If you’ll be serving Jungle Juice to a crowd, be sure to prepare a large container and get enough ingredients. A good rule of thumb is to estimate that each person will drink about 12 ounces of juice each hour. If you know the turnout and how long the event lasts, you can estimate how much juice you’ll need in total.

    How to Serve Jungle Juice

    Jungle juice is a great party drink and goes well with appetizers like shrimp cocktail, pigs in a blanket, or chicken wings. If you’re having a casual get together, jungle juice can be served in plastic cups. For more special occasions, you can serve it in highball or rock glasses.

    How to Store Leftover Jungle Juice

    Leftover jungle juice can be stored in tightly sealed glass mason jars. Refrigerate for up to 4 days and add a bit of club soda to the mix when you’re ready to drink. The club soda helps to zhuzh up the drink, since it may have gone a bit flat in the fridge.

    Make Ahead Instructions

    We recommend making jungle juice 3-4 hours ahead of time to deepen the flavors and allow the fruit to soak up the alcohol. The longer you let the juice “marinate”, the boozier the fruits!

    Variations

    Virgin Jungle Juice For Kids

    Skip the alcohol and mix fresh fruit with their favorite fruit juices. Add some water to reduce the sugar content.

    Jungle Juice With Candy

    For a more indulgent treat, replace the fruits with gummy bears, or mix gummy bears and fruit together.

    Hawaiian Punch Jungle Juice Recipe

    Instead of using lemonade, use your favorite Hawaiian Punch! Blue Hawaiian Punch creates a cool cocktail that’s sure to be a hit!

    Halloween Jungle Juice

    For a neat party trick, use dry ice with your Jungle Juice. The smoky, spooky effect is perfect for Halloween!

    Does Jungle Juice Fruit Punch Get You Drunk?

    Jungle Juice is famous for its ability to get you quite tipsy in a short time. Because of the fruity juices, it’s easy to keep sipping without realizing how much alcohol you’re consuming. This Jungle Juice has both rum and vodka, so it’s pretty potent.

    How Long Do You Let Jungle Juice Sit?

    Try to make your juice at least 3 hours before it’s time to drink. This allows the fruit to soak up all the alcohol. You can let the juice sit for up to 12 hours.

    How Much Jungle Juice Should I Drink?

    Jungle Juice has a fairly high alcohol and sugar content. Any more than three 10-ounce servings would be asking for trouble.

      Great recipe to start from. Went with all the same ingredients but changed up the measurements. I put two whole things of orange juice, lemonade, and fruit punch, the whole 1/5th / pint and a splash of cranberry juice and it turned out perfect!
