Before You Start: Helpful Tips
- The recipe calls for Everclear 151. This is a strong, clear and flavorless alcohol product you can buy in most liquor stores. If you can’t find Everclear or you want your moonshine a little less potent, use 100-proof, plain vodka.
- Do not use any alcohol product designed for industrial use. This contains methanol, which is the stuff that made some old-time moonshine drinkers go blind.
- This moonshine is very strong. Keep it away from kids and pets.

You can serve this wickedly sweet moonshine chilled or in a cocktail. Try it with a splash of lemon-lime soda. Put a few drops in a glass of white wine or champagne. Pour a spoonful over vanilla ice cream. It’s time to unwind.
