jungle juice

(slang) Any energizing drink, alcoholic or otherwise.

(slang) alcoholic drink.

(US, slang) Moonshine (an illicitly distilled alcoholic beverage).

A cheerful, euphemistic slang term for alcoholic drink — any booze that puts people in a good mood. Joy juice is casual, affectionate language for alcohol, the kind of phrase you'd hear at a backyard barbecue or in a comedy sketch rather than a bar fight. It deliberately emphasizes the fun side of drinking and tends to appear in lighthearted contexts. The phrase is broad enough to cover everything from cheap beer to fancy cocktails, as long as the good times are the point.

(US) An artificially fruit-flavored beverage, made from a powdered concentrate and water, that is often served at American residential camps; Kool-Aid or a generic equivalent.
