Tasty Drink Ideas For Mixing Moonshine

Authentic home-brewed moonshine is known for having a powerful kick that can knock some people out of their shoes. While some people enjoy their moonshine straight, you can make it more palatable by mixing it with other ingredients. If the near-100% alcohol content is too much for you to handle, you should use mix your moonshine with other ingredients. Who knows, you might discover a new favorite mixed drink?

Fruit Punch

One simple idea is to mix half moonshine with half fruit punch. The sweet, fruity flavors of the punch naturally compliment the powerful bite of moonshine. Once the beverage is thoroughly mixed, you’ll have a balanced drink that’s easier to drink. Of course, everyone has a different preference, so there’s no guarantee that you’ll like this mixed drink. However, I recommend giving it a try if you are looking for a way to soften the bite of your moonshine.

Apple Juice

Another idea is to mix some apple juice with your moonshine. In a previous post, we talked about how to make apple pie moonshine, which is arguably one of the most popular types of moonshine. It involves boiling a mixture of apple juice, cider, sugar and cinnamon sticks, and then mixing it with moonshine. If you don’t have all of these ingredients, or if you simply don’t want to invest your time and energy into making it, you can mix your moonshine with basic apple juice. The exact ratio will depend on your personal preference, but 2 parts moonshine and 1 part apple juice seems to work well. If the moonshine is still too strong for your liking, add a bit more apple juice to your beverage.

Fruit

Of course, you can always add some fruit of your choosing to the moonshine. Placing some strawberries, cherries, apple slides, pear slices and grapes down into a jar of moonshine is sure to give it a naturally sweet flavor. And remember, the longer you let the fruit sit in your moonshine, the more flavor it will have. Allowing the fruit to sit for at least 24 hours will create a delightful beverage that most people will enjoy.

These are just a couple ideas to consider when making mixed moonshine beverages. Don’t be afraid to experiment with other ingredients not listed here. Through trial and error, you’ll discover which mixed beverages turn out good and which ones don’t.
