This is the kind of party punch that tastes like summer turned the Bluetooth speaker all the way up. Tropical pineapple, tart pink lemonade, crisp lager, lime citrus, and a full trio of spirits all crash together with Mango Tango seasoning bringing sweet heat, savory chili, and citrus punch to every sip. Then the Chamoy rim rolls in and suddenly the whole drink tastes like Mexican street fruit met a backyard cookout.

Directions
In a large 1.5–2 gallon beverage container or cooler, combine vodka, rum, tequila, Modelo, pineapple juice, pink lemonade concentrate, Liquid Death Severed Lime, sliced citrus, and Mango Tango seasoning. Stir thoroughly until fully combined.
Fill the container generously with ice and allow the punch to rest for about 2 hours so the citrus oils and flavors can fully blend together.
In a small bowl, combine Mango Tango and water to create a loose seasoning paste.
Rim serving cups with chamoy paste, then dip into the Mango Tango mixture.
Fill cups with ice, pour the Jungle Juice over top, and serve cold.

Recipe Note
LET IT SIT
Freshly mixed jungle juice tastes separate. After a couple hours on ice, the citrus oils, beer, fruit juice, and spirits mellow together into one balanced punch. Worth the wait.
THE BEER IS IMPORTANT
Modelo keeps the drink crisp and lighter on the palate so it doesn’t turn into sugary punch bowl chaos. It stretches the sweetness and adds easy-drinking carbonation.
MANGO TANGO DOES THE HEAVY LIFTING
You’re getting tropical fruit, chili warmth, citrus peel, and savory seasoning all at once. It gives the punch that sweet-spicy-street-fruit flavor profile that keeps people going back for another cup.
CHAMOY MAKES EVERYTHING POP
Sweet, salty, tangy, sticky, spicy — the chamoy rim sharpens every flavor in the drink and makes it taste colder and brighter. Tiny detail. Massive payoff.
DON’T SKIP THE CITRUS SLICES
As the punch rests, the lime and orange peels slowly release oils into the drink that balance out the sweetness with subtle bitterness and aroma.
