A packet of your favorite flavor of powdered drink mix (or fruit juice for a healthier option).
A packet of your other favorite flavor of powdered drink mix (or fruit juice)!
Sugar (if needed)
Add-Ins: gummy worms, skittles or frozen fruit
You’ll also need a pitcher and something to stir with.
Juice Between You and Us:
We always start with a packet of our two favorite flavors of powdered drink mixes (for us, it’s half grape and half raspberry). We pour the mixes into a pitcher and add as much water as the packet recommends.
If the juice seems sweet enough, leave it in the fridge to chill. If not, don’t be afraid to add a little extra sugar. And of course, if you’re very thirsty, you can just add ice and drink it right away!
Here is what makes it the BEST bug juice ever… the add-ins! Toss some gummy worms into the pitcher or freeze them in an ice cube tray filled with juice, then drop them in. Or, for a healthier option, you can add your favorite frozen fruit.
The version of bug juice at my summer camp was caller “swamp water” and was simply a mixture of every soda pop from the fountain…looked like frothing industrial waste but was packed with sugar and caffeine!
Back in the 50s and early 60s, at least at Medomak Camp for Boys in Washington, ME, bug juice was consistent—a reddish purple color, and a unique, but unnameable fruity flavor.

Bug Juice: Kool-Aid mixed and served outdoors, usually containing a few insects. I had my first live ant in bug juice at Camp Grier.

Don’t worry, boys; based on last summer’s exposure, you now have the antibodies for girl cooties.

We made bug juice in the Navy. The dry mix was so abrasive, we used it for cleaning the grills. Haze gray and underway.

They’re a year older, shouldn’t they be more inclined to like girls? That’s right in this universe they’re 10 years old forever.
