Combat JuiceCocktail recipe
Rating
The Combat Juice cocktail is a potent, high-volume mix that offers a vibrant blend of flavors. With its base of vodka, gin, and white rum, this drink packs a substantial punch, while the mix of orange, pineapple, and cranberry juices infuses a fruity and tart profile.
The addition of lemon-lime soda introduces a bubbly, citrusy sweetness which complements the sharper notes of the juices. Grenadine syrup contributes a touch of color and a hint of rich, pomegranate sweetness.
Unconventionally, the cocktail also includes lager, which adds a malty depth to the otherwise tropical and refreshing flavor palette. Served in a pint glass, the Combat Juice is a large-format cocktail that's likely to be popular at parties or gatherings for its striking appearance and complex taste.

FAQ's
What is the best way to serve Combat Juice?
Combat Juice is best served cold in a pint glass. Ensure all the components, especially the juices and soda, are chilled before mixing. Pouring the mixture over ice can also help keep it cold and refreshing.
Can I customize Combat Juice if I find it too strong or sweet?
Absolutely! If Combat Juice is too strong for your liking, consider reducing the amount of vodka, gin, and white rum, or increase the amount of lemon-lime soda or lager for a milder taste. If it's too sweet, you can cut down on the grenadine or increase the lemon and lime juice for a more tart flavor.
How does the alcohol content of Combat Juice compare to other popular cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 5.69%, Combat Juice is on the lower end compared to many classic cocktails. For instance, a Margarita typically has about 13-15% alcohol by volume (ABV), making Combat Juice a milder option perfect for extended sipping.
What type of occasions is Combat Juice best suited for?
Given its refreshing and fruity nature, Combat Juice is ideal for summer parties, barbecues, and casual gatherings. Its large volume and easy-to-share nature make it perfect for group celebrations or events where a communal cocktail can be enjoyed.
Are there any specific types of vodka, gin, or rum recommended for making Combat Juice?
While Combat Juice can be made with any type of vodka, gin, or white rum, using mid-range quality spirits is recommended for a balance between flavor and cost. There's no need to opt for premium brands, as the mix of juices and soda will be the dominant flavors.
