If you’ll be serving Jungle Juice to a crowd, be sure to prepare a large container and get enough ingredients.

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?

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!
