Apple Pie Moonshine

If you follow me on twitter, then you probably have heard me talking about my success in creating a signature drink for the wedding: Apple Pie Moonshine. This might just be the yummiest thing I have ever ingested, it seriously tastes exactly like the inside of an apple pie! This fact is both amazing and dangerous, did I mention it has a liter of grain alcohol in it that you cannot taste? Haha.

This drink is smooth but crazy strong so please be careful when consuming! 

The recipe makes about 9 quarts (a little over 2 gallons) so it's a nice size for a party.

1 Gallon Apple Cider 
1 Gallon Apple Juice
1 Cup White Sugar* 
1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar*
8 Cinnamon Sticks  
6 Tbsp Vanilla 
1 Liter 190 Proof Grain Alcohol (I used Everclear)
*you can always add more sugar to make it sweeter 

Mix together cider, juice, sugars, and vanilla in a large pot, then add cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil. Once boiling and sugars have completely disolved remove from heat, let mixture cool to room temperature then add grain alcohol.
What you don't end up using you can store in a sterile mason jar in a dark dry cool place with a couple of sticks of cinnamon. In fact it will taste even better the longer you let it sit.  I'm actually going to make another batch (probably half or a quarter size) and let sit for a while so then Will and I will have a nice little sipping drink for those lazy afternoons. 

Hopefully you guys enjoy this drink as much as everyone did at our wedding, it was seriously all gone by the time Will and I got back from taking pictures, haha.

Happy Friday!

  1. Well this sounds delightful. Apple cinnamon has got to be one of the most delicious flavour combinations known to man. I think I could drink a good deal of this beverage... before hitting the sack early from over consumption. ;)
