Ingredients List
For a Single Serving
- 2 ounces Pink Whitney vodka
- 1 ounce prepared pink lemonade
- 1-2 ounces fruit punch (depending on desired strength)
- Fresh lemon slices, raspberries, and/or strawberries
For a Party (About 12 Servings)
- 750ml bottle Pink Witney vodka (or about 3 cups)
- 1 ½ cups prepared pink lemonade
- 3 cups fruit punch
- Lemons, raspberries and/or strawberries
Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
- While Pink Whitney adds pink lemonade flavor, you could also use regular vodka as well, and/or add some rum to the drink for extra strength. White or coconut rum both go well here!
- You can use store bought or homemade pink lemonade. Using homemade allows you to control the sweetness a bit more (as this drink is on the sweeter side)
- Instead of fruit punch, you can really use any fruit juices you like. Strawberry daiquiri mix is another great option, or use your favorite combination of pineapple, orange, peach, strawberry, or other tropical juice flavors
- For a fizzy variation, top the drink off with some Sprite (or another lemon-lime soda), ginger ale, or use unsweetened lemon sparkling water or club soda if you want to reduce sweetness
- To add caffeine, you can also add a Red Bull (peach or berry flavors go best with this blend)!
Step By Step Instructions
- Add fresh fruit (if desired) and ice to a glass
- Pour in the vodka, pink lemonade, and fruit punch, and stir gently to combine (use a straw or a cocktail spoon)
- Garnish with a slice of lemon or fresh strawberry if desired, and enjoy!
Pitcher Directions
- Add all ingredients to a pitcher or punch bowl (you can add lemon slices in as well, but save fresh berries until you’re ready to serve). Store in refrigerator up to 24 hours in advance
- Stir when ready to serve, and pour or ladle into individual ice-filled glasses. Enjoy!

Recipe FAQs
How Much Alcohol Is In Jungle Juice?
The alcohol content in jungle juice can vary greatly depending on the ratio of alcohol to mixers. For this recipe, Pink Whitney vodka is the primary source of alcohol, which is a lower ABV than a traditional vodka.
If made as directed with about 2 ounces of vodka per serving, the alcohol by volume (ABV) would be approximately 10-15%, similar to a glass of wine. Scaling it up or adding more mixers will dilute the overall ABV.
What Juice Goes Good With Pink Whitney?
Pink Whitney pairs well with a variety of juices, including pink lemonade, fruit punch, cranberry juice, and orange juice.
These juices enhance the vodka’s citrusy, sweet flavor while adding additional layers of fruity complexity.
Can I Use Bottled Pink Lemonade For This Recipe?
Yes, bottled pink lemonade works perfectly for this recipe. It’s a convenient option that doesn’t sacrifice flavor.
Just ensure you choose a high quality brand for the best results. You can also make your own, which gives you more control over sweetness levels compared to commercially produced options.
Can I Make This With A Powdered Lemonade Mix?
Absolutely! Powdered lemonade mix can be used as a substitute.
Prepare the mix according to the package instructions (usually using water) and adjust the sweetness as needed to complement the other ingredients in your jungle juice.
Tips For the Best Pink Whitney Jungle Juice
- As written, this drink is low strength due to the ratio of alcohol to mixers (perfect for summer sipping)! However, you can add more Pink Whitney, or supplement with regular vodka and/or rum if you want to increase the strength
- Due to the fruit juices, this cocktail is relatively sweet. If you prefer a less sweet drink, use less sweet juices, add unsweetened sparkling water or club soda to dilute, or balance the lemonade with some fresh lemon or lime juice
Storage and Presentation Tips
- Glassware. You can serve jungle juice in all sorts of glasses, so choose your favorite! I usually like a highball, mason jar, or decorative punch glass. However, plastic party cups are a great option as well for a crowd!
- You can mix everything together up to 24 hours in advance (without ice or berries) and store in an airtight pitcher or container in the fridge. Add ice and berries just before serving (or in individual glasses) for best results!
- Garnishes are optional, but a lemon slice or twist of peel, fresh raspberries, or fresh strawberries are all great choices. Add a sprig of mint for an herbal pop if you like!
- Mermaid Rum Punch
- Texas Roadhouse Copycat Armadillo Punch
Final Thoughts
This Pink Whitney jungle juice is one of my favorite alcoholic punch recipes since it’s so simple to make, and delicious too! It’s always a huge hit at summer parties, like backyard barbecues, pool parties, at the beach, and more!
I love how customizable it is, so you can swap the juices and even mix and match liquors to make a combo you’ll love. However, this 3-ingredient version keeps it simple, fruity, and flavorful for a low stress drink.
