What is an Adult Capri Sun?

An adult Capri Sun is basically a mixture of a fruit juice with a liquor mixed together in a plastic pouch that looks like a Capri Sun. The flavor of this cocktail can vary depending on which liquors and fruit juices you use.

For the adult Capri Suns that we made, we used a combination of vodka and lemonade and a combination of rum and fruit punch. The resulting drinks tasted basically like lemonade with a little bite to it and a spicy fruit punch. These are so easy to make since they are just two ingredient vodka cocktails (or whatever liquor you choose to use).
