…And since we are making a “Southern” Peach Cocktail, it would only be fitting to use a southern whiskey for this recipe.  Although there are many distillers in the south to choose from, it’s sure hard to go wrong with the top selling American Whiskey in the world:  known other than Jack Daniels!

Nothing beats the summer heat like a tall glass of ice cold Lavender Lemonade! Not only will you love the refreshingly delicious taste it has to offer, but you may find yourself more relaxed since the mere scent of lavender has been shown to reduce anxiety.1  In addition, the odor from essential oils that are released from lavender blossoms may provide migraine and insomnia relief.2

We hope you enjoy this high proof mix of Jolly Rancher deliciousness.  In our opinion, there’s not a better way to have a legal moonshine experience without needing a lot of technical knowledge about distillation and fermentation.

In our opinion, Jolly Rancher Moonshine tastes much better with age!  It was yummy at 2 weeks….but at 4 weeks it was heavenly!  So be sure to make your moonshine a few weeks ahead of any big event or holiday for optimum flavor.

NOTE: Jolly Rancher Moonshine contains more alcohol than it tastes like so please exercise caution and moderation while consuming.
