I really need to try making moon shine at home!! This sounds amazing, what a perfect drink for Halloween!
Try using REAL moon shine . not everclear!!!!
We have made some with fruit but I really like the addition of the candy for more flavor.
Sweet this is a nice diy recipe, unique.
Can yiu replace hot tameles with Fireball?
You know what – I have not tried it with Fireball but it sounds like a great idea. If you try it out let us know how it comes out!
Hot Tamales??? I haven’t had those since I was a kid! What a great idea for Halloween!
What a fun way to put those hot tamale candies to work! I love this idea. Just pinned…and I need to share it with my neighbor for their annual halloween parties! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
This sounds perfect for halloween party! Great gift idea too!
What a fun idea for Halloween!
Wow, this looks perfect for Halloween, love the idea of adding a shimmer to it too!
I can’t see the recipe!?
Thank you so much for calling this to my attention Carol. It seems that a lot of my recipe cards are not displaying currently, but I am looking into the issue and hope to have them back up ASAP.
What size jars do you use for this recipe? I don’t think it says in the recipe itself.
16 oz mason jars
Would everything work out the same if I double or tripled the recipe?
It should! I haven’t tried it myself, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work out!
Made this according to directions. Definitely too much Everclear per bottle! Tasted awful so I redid and added more simple syrup and less alcohol per jar. Much better the second time.
Do you leave it out for 1 week before putting it in the refrigerator?
We used a cool, dark cabinet when we made this moonshine, but with the more recent moonshines we have made we kept them in the fridge while they infused. Honestly either way should be fine as long as the location is nice and cool. But you can definitely pop the jars in the fridge if you prefer.
Can it be kept refrigerated for more than 30 days?
I have strawberry vodka, wonder if I addd a little what it would be like
As good as strawberry vodka sounds I am not sure how it would be in this recipe.
Can you use the Frozen Strawberries
Sure, I would just let the strawberries defrost first.
Can you provide a link to the silver sparkle/ shimmer? Thank you!
Something like this or this will work – enjoy!
You say the recipe makes quite a bit, but in each Mason jar there would be a cup of everclear, 1/4 cup simple syrup, a cup of strawberries, and 10 tamales. Am I missing something? Is there not anything else that goes in? It just seems as if it would be REALLY strong. Just checking because I would really like to make this.
Nope, you got it! It is REALLY strong!
Could you use vodka instead of Everclear?
Sure! That would work as well!
