A large-format alcoholic beverage, often served at parties or social gatherings, typically mixed in a receptacle resembling a refuse container. This concoction combines various types of liquor, fruit juices, and sometimes sliced fruit, creating a potent and visually striking drink intended for sharing among a group. A common example would include a mixture of vodka, rum, gin, tequila, orange juice, pineapple juice, and sliced oranges, lemons, and limes, all poured into a large, clean plastic container.
These shared alcoholic beverages can serve as a centerpiece for social events, fostering a sense of camaraderie as guests partake in the communal drink. Historically, large-format drinks have been a part of celebrations, providing a convenient and visually impressive way to serve a large number of people. The appeal often stems from the variety of flavors and the perceived cost-effectiveness compared to serving individual drinks.
