What can I use in place of grain alcohol in a Jungle Juice recipe?!
I have this recipe for Jungle Juice that I'd like to try, but it calls for 190 proof grain alcohol (along with a bunch of rum and vodka)!. I don't know about you, but that might be a little over-kill in my opinion!. Jungle Juice is supposed to be strong, but damn! Is there something (with alcohol) you would substitute for the grain alcohol!? Or would you just leave it out!?
Here's the recipe for reference:
2 (750 milliliter) bottles rum
1 (750 milliliter) bottle vodka
1 (750 milliliter) bottle 190 proof grain alcohol
1 gallon cranberry juice
1 (2 liter) bottle chilled lemon-lime soda
1 quart grape juice
4 cups halved fresh strawberries
12 kiwis, peeled and quartered
6 oranges, peeled and segmented
1 bunch grapes, separated and rinsed
1 large watermelon, cubed and seededWww@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
I would either leave it in or double up on the vodka!. Perhaps use one of the the Absolut Citron, Mandrin, Kurant, Raspberri or Apeach flavors for the additional fruitiness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The pure grain alcohol is the best part!. I would maybe leave out the rum and/or vodka if you want to make it less potent!. It gets you drunk w/o a bad taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Put it in!. It seems like a lot, but with all the fruit to soak it up and all the juice to mix with it, it will be good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would use double the vodka, or even three times the amount, but it will water down the flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you can use gin or whiskeyWww@FoodAQ@Com
grain alcohols are otherwise called "whiskey", and take your pick of which one you want to use!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It sounds like it's lacking me!
