F*ck It Bucket Recipe

I discovered this F*ck It Bucket cocktail and it’s such a vibe. Its mix of white rum, citrus juices, and that fun splash of grenadine with fresh fruits brings a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I love how it transforms any moment into a mini tropical escape, making every sip a party.

I love making the F*ck It Bucket because its such a fun and fruity cocktail thats perfect for any big party or even a wedding celebration. I think the mix of 750ml white rum with 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, 750ml pineapple juice, and 750ml orange juice is awesome, and it gives the drink a really vibrant kick.

I also add 1/4 cup grenadine syrup, which not only adds a splash of color but also a sweet flavor. I use a fresh fruit mix including slices of oranges, lemons, limes, pineapple chunks and even a few maraschino cherries to boost its nutritional benefits like vitamin C from citrus fruits.

The ice I add makes the drink super chilled and refreshing even if its a strong drink, making it a perfect adult cocktail for New Years Eve parties or any bar food night you might be hosting.

F*ck It Bucket Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have white rum, try swapping it with vodka or coconut rum for a fruity twist.
• If lemon-lime soda ain’t available, ginger ale or club soda with a squeeze of lemon can work just as well.
• Pineapple juice can be substituted with mango nectar or even guava juice, which gives a nice, tropical kick.
• Instead of orange juice, tangerine juice or an extra squeeze of lime might be a fun change.
• If you cant find grenadine syrup, opt for pomegranate syrup or a bit of raspberry syrup in its place.

Pro Tips

1. Chill your punch bowl in the fridge before you start. It keeps everything super cold and the flavors a lot more refreshing.
2. Pour in the soda really slow so it doesnt lose its fizz. A rushed pour can really kill the bubbles and that’s a bummer when you’re aiming for that fizzy punch feel.
3. If you can wait a bit longer after mixing, let the fruit soak to boost the flavor even more. The longer it sits, the better the mix gets, so try not to rush it.
4. Taste as you go, and if it seems too sweet for you, you can always cut back a bit on the grenadine or add a little extra citrus juice. Experiment a bit until you hit the sweet spot.
