Notes
Tailgating? This cocktail can be made 1-2 days in advance. Prepare the cocktail and keep it refrigerated until ready to drink!
I HIGHLY recommend serving your Detroit Juice on ice. The colder the better in my experience (to avoid tasting like college jungle juice that has been sitting out for far too long)...speaking from experience.
Try making lemonade or Sprite ice cubes to avoid watering down your tailgating punch.
