What can I use in place of grain alcohol in a Jungle Juice recipe?

Question

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 d**n! 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 seeded

Answer 1

It sounds like it's lacking me!

Really, we drink something like this while we are ice fishing, and it's great!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

It looks like you're having fun with a home made drink? take out 90% of it  i would join you

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

grain alcohols are otherwise called "whiskey", and take your pick of which one you want to use.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

I would use double the vodka, or even three times the amount, but it will water down the flavor.

Answer 8

you can use gin or whiskey
