Drink:
Recipe:
1L clear, high proof grain alcohol (such as Everclear)
3L Vodka
1L Triple Sec
8L fruit punch (such as Hawaiian Punch)
as much fruit as desired (Pineapple, apple and grapes are popular choices)
?L misc.
Obtain a large, new trash bin (or comparably sized container, varying up or down with the number of expected guests). Dice fruit and place in bottom. Poor alcohol over fruit and let sit for several hours (2-3 minimum, overnight preferred). Add juice and stir.
Special Instructions: To partake of the Jungle Juice, each guest must either pay some manner of cover charge, or contribute a portion of any drink they have brought to the concoction. Sodas, juice, clear and fruit flavored malt beverages (such as Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade), and clear and fruit flavored liquors (such as Vodka) are all acceptable. Beer, dark liquors (such as Whiskey and Rum), Tequila, and Gin should be avoided, as they will overpower the mix.
Description:
Jungle Juice is pretty much the perfect beverage for a wild college party. If the instructions are fallowed as stated above, the drink will be fruity and pleasant with almost no hint of alcohol's harsh bite, which means all party goers are likely to enjoy it. The copious amounts of fruit and juice in the mix do more then just lighten the flavor though; they, along with the communal contributions of your guests gives you a lot of drink at relatively little cost.
Watch out though. Despite the taste, the alcohol content will be quite high, and could easily sneak up on first timers and lightweights.
An accurate description.
WARNING: You MUST have someone watching the Jungle Juice throughout the night. Take shifts if you have to, but as long as there is any left it MUST be looked after by someone WITH THEIR WITS STILL ABOUT THEM. This person is responsible for keeping track of who contributed (either with money or drink), checking their contributions (to ensure that inappropriate liquors do not ruin the taste and, more importantly, nothing nefarious is slipped into the mix), and keeping minors and those that did not contribute from partaking.
Excuse me sir, is that Bud Lite?
Yeah? OK then, why don't you go ahead and walk away.
Variants:
If you don't want to worry about managing the concoction all night, there are a number of prefab recipes that will give you a similar taste and can be made in advance.
Also, while not really changing the concept, the drink is called a number of things depending on where you are. Highlights include:
Hairy Buffalo
Panty Dropping Punch
Purple Jesus
