Happy Hour Friday (4): Sunday Edition

I'm back from Arizona, and while I have pics and stories to share from my very fun and productive trip, first things first!

In honor of said trip, I want to either introduce you, or remind you, of the dangerous party drink Jungle Juice. It came up in a conversation I had with some students at ASU (who, not surprisingly, were about 10 years younger than me). One of these young'ns was telling us how at one party, the hosts lined a trash can with a plastic trash bag and filled it up with said Jungle Juice... ahh, college.

The real recipe is a puke-fest waiting to happen. But I think with some modifications, this could actually work at a party!

Jungle Juice Lite

This is like sangria, but using vodka instead of wine. Start with a large bowl, pitcher, or pot that can hold the equivalent of 6 bottles of wine. You could also use an ice chest, but that's a little low-brow. (ha!) You want to be able to fit it into the fridge or keep it cold somehow for a long time.

1 bottle of vodka
1/3rd bottle triple sec
2 containers orange juice concentrate
1 bottle of cranberry juice
1 bottle of pineapple juice
sliced, fresh fruit (oranges, apples, pears, lemons, limes, raspberries, blackberries - whatever you want)

Combine all ingredients and let sit overnight, or at least 4-6 hours before the party. Serve over ice and enjoy!

Ha!! I don't think I had heard the term "Jungle Juice" in nearly a decade when it came up this weekend. I wanted to die. Sooo funny. The gal who invited me out didn't know what Everclear was and I just told her "you don't want to."
