While I typically share kid-friendly content on the blog, today I am sharing something special for the grown-up.

Although these moonshines look colorful and fun, these are made with alcohol and for adults only (21+).

Moonshine Recipes

Infusing alcohol with fruit, candy, or other ingredients has become commonly referred to as moonshine. While not “moonshine” in the making your own alcohol in the basement sense, these moonshine are still pretty awesome if you ask me. Quite popular too!

Making homemade flavor infused moonshines is a fun and easy way to make your own unique flavor of liquor. And as you will see, the possibilities are truly endless.

 

How to make moonshine

You will find that most of these homemade moonshine recipes are made using a strong grain alcohol such as Everclear or vodka.

Some use  legal moonshines as their base, which have become more and more common lately. Although typically made in craft distilleries in the south, it is available in liquor stores across America.

How to Drink Moonshine

It is worth noting that although your flavored moonshine may taste sweet and fruity, the stuff is STRONG. It will creep up on you, so be careful and enjoy responsibly.

While you can sip your moonshine straight, if you prefer something less strong try mixing it with soda, seltzer water, or another mixer. 

Serving moonshine shots is these mason jar shot glasses is a great idea for parties as well.

However your drink it, you are going to love these delicious flavored moonshine drinks.

Homemade Moonshine makes a great gift

Because who doesn’t love a strong and delicious adult beverage every once in a while?

Just add a bow, a ribbon, or some twine and you have an instant gift. 

Or, add a jar of moonshine to a moonshine-themed gift basket along with other goodies such as mason jar glasses and coasters for a larger gift.
