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.
Drink responsibly and have a very Happy Halloween!

Equipment
- 4 16-ounce mason jars with lids
- cocktail muddler optional
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups of strawberries sliced
- 40 Hot Tamales candy
- 4 cups Everclear

Instructions
- To make a simple syrup: Bring water to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, and stir until it dissolves and a syrup liquid forms. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Place strawberry slices in a large bowl. Use a cocktail muddler (or fork or the back of a wooden spoon) to muddle the strawberries. Divide muddled strawberries evenly into 4 mason jars.
- Divide simple syrup, hot tamales, and Everclear evenly into the mason jars. Add 1 drop red food coloring to each. Shake jars to combine ingredients.
- Place in the refrigerator for about 1 week, shaking the jars every 2 days to help with the infusion process.
- When ready to enjoy, strain through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining candy and strawberry pieces. Pour back into jars and chill until serving.

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.
