Powdered Juice and Booze: Liquor Mixes

October 13 2022

Thirsty?

1. Jungle Juice
2. Pineapple Rum
3. Long Island Iced Tea
4. Appletini
5. Tequila Sunrise

There are days when plain alcohol will not sate your cravings for booze. Sometimes plain ol’ fruit juice won’t quench your thirst. Basic sometimes just doesn’t do the trick and there’s a need for more. So why not mix things up? Perhaps, fruit juice or powdered fruit juice from the Philippines fused with alcohol will satisfy your palate.

Combining these two together isn’t a new concept. A visit to a nearby grocery store and a quick scan through the Alcoholic Beverages aisle and you’ll immediately find all kinds of fruit-infused drinks—from the iconic green-hued Soju bottles to the local beer brands. Over the years, these concoctions have gained traction. And now, you can recreate them in your own kitchen!

In this article, Chemag shares with you powdered juice and booze mix recipes that you can easily assemble in your home.

Recreate the mixes below for any event—a party with friends, a self-care session after a long, strenuous day at work, to celebrate the arrival of the long-awaited weekend or for any reason at all. Just remember to drink moderately of course!

Pick Your Poison

These concoctions give justice to one of Aristotle’s, a renowned philosopher, famous quotes, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” While the elements on their own are already delicious beverages that can stand alone, such as powdered juice available in the Philippines, merging them together makes an even greater drink!

So, whichever “poison” you choose, remember to drink moderately and enjoy your very own creation. Cheers!
