Ingredients (Serves 8–10)
- 1½ cups vodka
- ¾ cup blue curaçao (adds color + orange flavor)
- ¾ cup cranberry juice (100% or cocktail-style for sweetness)
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda or pineapple juice (for fizz and tropical depth)
- 2–3 cups ice or frozen fruit (pineapple chunks, orange slices, cranberries, etc.)
- Optional: ½ cup orange juice (for a citrusy boost)
- Optional: Sugar rim mix (for serving glasses)

How to Make Jamaican Me Crazy Party Punch
Step 1: Prepare Your Punch Base
In a large punch bowl or drink dispenser, combine the vodka, blue curaçao, and cranberry juice. Stir gently to mix the flavors.
Step 2: Add the Fizz and Fruit
Pour in your choice of lemon-lime soda or pineapple juice to add a fizzy or fruity finish. Stir again and add ice or frozen fruit. Frozen fruit helps keep the punch chilled without watering it down—perfect for outdoor events.
Step 3: Optional Flavor Enhancer
For even more citrusy brightness, stir in ½ cup of orange juice. This adds complexity and tropical depth without overpowering the other flavors.
Step 4: Sugar Rim Your Glasses (Optional)
For a fun party touch, dip the rims of your serving glasses in water or juice, then in sugar. It adds a sparkle and a sweet first sip. Chill glasses beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Serve the punch in glasses garnished with orange or lemon wheels, fresh mint, fruit skewers, or paper umbrellas for a full vacation vibe.
Tips and Variations
- Make it a slushie: Blend half the punch with ice and frozen fruit for a frozen punch bowl version.
- Add sparkle: Use club soda or prosecco in place of soda for added fizz.
- Non-alcoholic version: Skip the vodka and curaçao, and use blue sports drink or Hawaiian Punch + pineapple juice for a fun kid-friendly mocktail.
- Make ahead: Mix everything except the soda and ice. Add those just before serving.
