Homemade Halloween Gift for Adults

However, it would make an excellent gift for friends or Halloween party favor. For example, what parent wouldn’t want to leave a crazy Halloween party for their kids with a jar of this delicious flavored moonshine in their hands?
If you’re giving the jars of moonshine as a gift, consider making labels that have the name of the drink along with a decorative font and background. This will take the gift completely over the top.
If you’re late on getting the drink to the right infusion stage, just tell your gift recipients how to store the drink until it’s ready to be served.
Drink responsibly and have a very Happy Halloween!

Looking for an update on this! Anxious to try it but agree the recipe sounds off. Doesn’t sound like enough water and sugar. Any advice would be appreciated!
the hot tamales has sugar in them
I feel the same. The mason jars will be basically empty with only one cup of Everclear in it and a handful of candy.
Needs a chaser of some kind. I used strawberry soda and ginger ale. The taste was way better. My friend added slow gin and strawberry soda.
I made this for neighbors, but didn’t get the glitter in time. I re-named it “Naughty and Nice Moonshine” for the holidays and it was a hit! (For fruit infusions, I always use and recommend buying organic) There was a good balance of heat and sweet, although I was only able to taste a little before bottling the gifts. I’ll have to make this again for the holidays, but came back now for the recipe to re-brand as “campfire” or “firepit” moonshine for summer 🙂 This combination was genius! THANK YOU!!!
