Before it became a fraternity house party staple , Jungle Juice was American military swill . It was birth in the jungle of the South Pacific during World War II , when military regulations forbade active - duty soldier from importing any hard liquor or spirits from the surrounding areas . In response , the soldier improvised . They distilled their own food grain alcohol from fermented jungle fruits , mixed it with ration powdered lemonade and concocted genuine “ jungle juice . ”
Eventually the slapdash puncher made its way from military camps to college campus across America . fraternity planetary house swapped out the soldiers ’ shoddily fermented liquor for cheap , store - buy hooey and developed their own secret , proprietary recipe — passing them down from class to class . Made in scraps bathroom , kitchen sinks or ice coolers , modernistic day Jungle Juice is ordinarily comprised of whatever pot liquor is around ( Everclear , vodka , gin , you name it ) , along with a odds and ends of fruity liqueurs and juices . Improvisation is the name of the biz . And that is often where the potent punch falls asunder . So we , in the hopes of help you make a Jungle Juice worth sip ( rather than chugging ) , made an actual recipe .
Our Jungle Juice eliminates the Everclear to make it safe for a Saturday eventide soirée , and is a hatful more manageable in size of it ( most recipe we ’ve seen make 10 to 20 congius ) . A word of admonition : This Jungle Juice may try intimately than frat basement dreck , but its potency equals that of its college first cousin .
