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.

Pin for Later:
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 can find it on ebay. I bought a small jar off there. Look under edible glitter.
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!
