Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 9 oz moonshine, 150 proof (adjust for preference or proof)
- Optional: 2 oz orange liqueur
Instructions
- Warm the cranberry juice, orange juice, water, sugar, zest, and lemon juice for 10 minutes. Do not boil.
- Cool completely. Strain out the zest.
- Stir in the moonshine and the orange liqueur if using. Pour into a quart jar.
- Chill at least 1 day. Serve over ice.
Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Cut the orange zest in wide strips with a vegetable peeler and leave one strip in the jar. It keeps adding flavor, and it comes out clean when you are done with it.
*Calculated proof: about 21 percent ABV in the finished quart jar, based on 150 proof moonshine.
