Pro tip
The secret to good jungle juice is balance — it should taste like fruit punch that happens to be alcoholic, not like rubbing alcohol with juice. Chill everything overnight and add the soda last to keep the fizz.
History of the Jungle Juice
Jungle Juice has been a staple of American college parties since at least the 1970s. The name likely comes from military slang for improvised alcoholic drinks made in the field. Every recipe is different — that's the point.
