What Is It Made Of?

Jungle juice is made up of hard alcohol, fruit juice, and sometimes soda. There are different recipes for making it, but the main components of jungle juice are fruit juice and hard liquors like vodka, gin, rum, and whiskey. For this reason, it’s best to drink it in moderation. Some batches also contain sliced fruits, like strawberries or pineapples, to enhance the flavors and complete the beverage. 

Although it’s associated with liquor, feel free to make your own version of jungle juice. You can use less alcohol or completely omit it for a kid-friendly version— there really are no rules to this!

Just take note of what you mix into your jungle juice. The excitement of adding anything and everything can cloud your judgment and leave you with a toxic beverage instead. 

The bottom line is, drinking beverages in moderation is the best way to enjoy them. Anything consumed in excess, especially alcohol, will have adverse effects on your body.

Can I Add Sugar?

You can also add sugar to jungle juice. If the bitter taste of alcohol is overwhelming, it can help to make it more pleasant. But, of course, sugar comes with calories, and it’s important to note the amount you add to your jungle juice.

What Does Jungle Juice Taste Like?

The best way to describe the taste is an undertone of bitterness with sweet notes from fruit juice. It’s definitely not a light drink, and the high alcoholic content will leave a slight burn in your mouth. But fruit juice soothes the taste to make it sweet and pleasant. And depending on the fruits you add, it can taste tangy, tart, citrusy, or tropical. 

You can even sprinkle a hint of effervescence to your drink by adding sodas like carbonated water or ginger ale. It also adds relief from the bitter taste of jungle juice.
