Jolly Rancher Moonshine Recipe

July 8, 2017 by Good Living Guide. This post may contain affiliate links. 17 Comments

This Jolly Rancher Moonshine Recipe was inspired by my all-time favorite piece of hard candy!   What could be better than a smooth drink that tastes like liquid Jolly Ranchers?  Not only is it an easy and inexpensive recipe for you to enjoy yourself, but it also makes for a perfect homemade gift to friends and family!

Jolly Rancher Moonshine

Ingredients

  • 12-15 pieces of Cherry Jolly Ranchers in each Mason Jar
  • 5 C Everclear 40% ABV
  • 3 8 oz Mason Jar
  • 1/4 C Grenadine
  • 1 C of Sprite
  • 1 tube of Edible Pearl Dust



Directions

  1. Unwrap the Cherry Jolly ranchers and place into the mason jars.
  2. Fill the jars half way with the Everclear.
  3. Pour in 1/4 C of Grenadine.
  4. Top off with a little bit of Sprite.
  5. Let sit for 8-10 hours or until the Jolly Ranchers have fully dissolved.
  6. Add in 1/3 of the Edible Pearl Dust.
  7. Shake.
  8. Enjoy!

Jolly Rancher Moonshine

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.
