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.
