Alright, let’s talk about them moonshine cocktails, you know, the kind that gets you a little tipsy without breakin’ the bank. I ain’t no fancy bartender or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about mixin’ drinks that taste good and hit the spot. So listen up, y’all!
First off, we gotta talk about that raspberry moonshine. Now, that stuff’s pretty good on its own, but if you wanna fancy it up a bit, throw in some Sprite. Yeah, that bubbly soda stuff. Gives it a little fizz and makes it go down easier. Don’t use too much though, or you’ll just be drinkin’ sugar water. A little bit of tartness from the raspberries and a little bit of fizz, that’s the ticket. And if you’re feelin’ extra wild, maybe toss in a few fresh raspberries too, just for show.
Now, some folks like that apple pie moonshine, especially when it gets cold outside. I ain’t gonna lie, it warms ya up right good. But what if you ain’t got the real stuff, or maybe you want somethin’ the young’uns can drink too? Well, you can make a fake apple pie moonshine, kinda like a cider. Get yourself some apple juice, apple cider – the real stuff, not that sugary junk – and some brown sugar. Throw in some cinnamon sticks and a bit of that ground cinnamon, oh and a pinch of nutmeg too, that’s the secret spice. Now, if you want a little kick, but don’t want the alcohol, you can add a drop or two of somethin’ called whiskey essence, or even a splash of apple cider vinegar. It ain’t the same as the real deal, but it’ll do in a pinch. Heat it all up on the stove, let it simmer for a bit, and you got yourself a nice warm drink that’ll chase away the chills.

Then there’s them margaritas. Now, I know what you’re thinkin’, margaritas ain’t moonshine. And you’re right, mostly. They use tequila, that fancy Mexican liquor. But hey, who says you can’t get creative? If you got some good clear moonshine, you can try usin’ that instead. You’ll need some orange liquor too, triple sec or somethin’ like that, and some lime juice. Don’t forget the salt for the rim of the glass, that’s important. Shake it all up with some ice and you got yourself a moonshine margarita. It ain’t traditional, but it’ll sure get the party started. Just be careful, moonshine can be strong stuff, and you don’t wanna end up fallin’ in the ditch.
I heard tell of somethin’ called Frozen Toasted Coconut Moonshine too. Sounds fancy, don’t it? I ain’t never made it myself, but from what I gather, it’s like a tropical drink, somethin’ you’d drink on a hot summer day. You’d probably need some coconut milk, maybe some pineapple juice, and of course, that coconut moonshine. Blend it all up with some ice and you got yourself a frosty treat. Sounds like a good way to cool down after a long day of workin’ in the garden, or just sittin’ on the porch swingin’.
You know, the best part about makin’ moonshine cocktails is that you can just throw in whatever you got on hand. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Got some peaches? Throw ‘em in. Got some strawberries? Why not? Got some leftover lemonade? Mix it up! The possibilities are endless. Just remember to taste as you go, you don’t wanna end up with somethin’ that tastes like swamp water. And most importantly, drink responsibly. Moonshine ain’t nothin’ to mess with, it can sneak up on ya quick. So take it easy, enjoy yourself, and don’t do nothin’ I wouldn’t do.
So there you have it, a few simple moonshine cocktails even an old woman like me can make. They ain’t nothin’ fancy, but they’ll get the job done. Just remember to have fun, be safe, and don’t drink too much, or you’ll be feelin’ it in the mornin’. And that ain’t no fun for nobody.
