Instructions
- Gather Ingredients and Equipment: Begin by collecting all your ingredients and a large punch bowl or container suitable for mixing and serving your Jungle Juice.
- Mix Alcohol Base: Pour the vodka, rum, peach schnapps, and fruity wine into the punch bowl, creating a strong and flavorful alcoholic foundation for your punch.

- Add Fresh Fruits: Carefully add the sliced strawberries, sliced oranges, sliced lemons, and diced pineapples into the bowl. These provide fresh taste and visual appeal to the punch.
- Add Optional Soda: If desired, pour in lemon-lime soda or another citrus soda to introduce bubbles and extra sweetness. Adjust the amount based on your preference for fizz.
- Combine Gently: Mix all ingredients gently to ensure the fruits and liquids are evenly distributed without breaking down the fruit pieces.
