Fans of fruit alcoholic beverages claim that Jungle Juice is one of the best inventions when it comes to cocktails.

These cocktails of vibrant, cheerful colors are an ideal option for a light summer refreshment. When you make Jungle Juice at home, you can let your imagination run free.
But still, make sure you make some of the proven fruit combinations. We did a little research, and we’ll show you which combinations are most popular and how you can make them.
Recipes For Each Taste
We have already emphasized that a good combination is the key to a good Jungle Juice cocktail. So take care of combinations not only when it comes to fruit, but also alcohol. It is recommended that you never mix more than 3 different alcoholic beverages – not only because of the taste but also because of the percentage of alcohol. You want to freshen up, but you don’t want to pass out! According to beyondtheembrace.com, the combination of fruit can sometimes be crucial in combination with alcohol as it gives different aromas and flavors. So, let’s take a look at some of the popular combinations for Jungle Juice.
1. Affordable College Student Mix
If you’re not really on the money, and your friends are coming to you – then the situation can be awkward. It doesn’t have to be that way because you can prepare this cocktail in its basic option. You don’t need a lot of ingredients or a lot of money for that – and you will still enjoy refreshments with your friends. Choose a vodka that is not too expensive, like Smirnoff or similar. If you are not able to make a classic punch, use another drink that is available to you. You can use rum or tequila. You can add fruit to this, or if you do not have fruit – you can use better quality fruit juices with aromas of pineapple, grapes, or apples. It is good to add slices of watermelon, which will add an extra aroma and make your cocktail more attractive.
2. Tropical Jungle Mix
When you want to indulge in a little tropical enjoyment, you can do it so simply with a good mix of ingredients for this Jungle juice cocktail. What do you need for tropical jungle juice? It is best to use dark rum. Add pineapple and passion fruit juice to this cocktail, squeeze half a lime, and a few drops of grenadine. It is best to use a shaker with crushed ice for this cocktail. Then add rum, passion fruit, and pineapple juice and stir until the mass becomes compact. After that, add the juice of half a lime and shake well. Pour the cocktail into the glass and then add a few drops of grenadine. Finally, when you pour a cocktail in a glass – decorate everything with a slice of pineapple.
3. Halloween Mix
Want a greenish Halloween mix? Try this recipe. Use a melon liqueur that has that greenish color that will make your cocktail have that Halloween look. You can also add a little rum or vodka for those who like slightly stronger cocktails. Don’t use any dark-colored liqueurs or a shaker for this cocktail because you don’t want to lose that glowing green color. To achieve an extra Halloween effect – add blueberries or grapes that can have an eye effect when serving this Halloween Jungle Juice.
4. Non-Alcoholic Jungle Juice
Certainly, there are those among us who are not fans of alcoholic cocktails – and who would prefer a sweet fruit mix. It’s possible! Instead of alcohol, you can use carbonated mineral water that will give your Jungle Juice a sparkling effect. You can make this cocktail by mixing fruit juices that you will squeeze yourself – or sweetened ones if it tastes better to you. For those who use ordinary juices, it is recommended to add pulp, fruit puree, or pieces of sliced fruit of your choice to the mixture. You can decorate these cocktails with fruit slices or paper umbrellas and straws. It will look attractive, and we don’t even have to talk about taste. Everyone will love this cocktail.
The Bottom Line
Even light meals during the summer months cannot save you from the heat that takes away your energy and makes you keep all activities to a minimum. However, you can always “save yourself” with a refreshing drink that will cool you down and bring you back to life in the blink of an eye. We hope that our suggestions for Jungle Juice will help you find the right refreshment this summer.
