If you’re having an adult Halloween party – or just an evening with the ghouls – uh, girls – you’re definitely going to want a drink that captures the spirit of Halloween.

This tasty moonshine is sure to be a hit among those that love a unique drink.

The flavor combination of cinnamon and strawberries may not be one that you have considered, but you won’t believe how well the flavors work together.

Now the recipe calls for letting this moonshine sit for 1 week.

But, if you don’t have that sort of time, no worries!

It’s basically a “the longer, the better” sort of thing to let the flavors mix.

Homemade Halloween Gift for Adults

This recipe makes quite a bit of moonshine.

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.

    What size jars do you use for this recipe? I don’t think it says in the recipe itself.

    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 you use the Frozen Strawberries

      Sure, I would just let the strawberries defrost first.

      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!
