Gingerbread Moonshine
Quart Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz moonshine, 150 proof (adjust for preference or proof)
Instructions
- Simmer the water, brown sugar, molasses, and spices for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cool completely. Stir in the vanilla.
- Stir in the moonshine. Pour into a quart jar.
- Rest at least 3 days. Shake before serving.
Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Add the vanilla after the syrup cools, never while it simmers. Heat cooks off the vanilla flavor.
*Calculated proof: about 28 percent ABV in the finished quart jar, based on 150 proof moonshine.
