In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add sugar and stir constantly until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to allow to cool thoroughly.
Place raspberries in a large bowl. Use a fork or the back of a wooden spoon to muddle the berries. Divide evenly into 4 mason jars.
Once the sugar-water is cooled, add the vanilla and mint extracts. Stir well. Pour equal amounts into 4 mason jars.
Top with Everclear, divided evenly into each jar. Close jars and shake well.
Store the jars in the refrigerator for 4 weeks, shaking every 2 days to help with the infusion process.
Strain through a cheesecloth to remove raspberry pieces. Pour back into mason jars and return to refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Can be enjoyed straight or mixed to make a cocktail- Tip: Set a reminder on your phone to remind yourself to shake the jar every 2 days.- While we made this moonshine using 4 16-oz mason jars, after straining the fruit the result was only 2 jars of moonshine in the end.
