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.
