Mulled Spiced Apple Moonshine

Quart Recipe

Ingredients

• 20 oz apple cider
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 3 whole cloves
• 1 wide strip orange peel
• 10 oz moonshine, 150 proof (adjust for preference or proof)

Instructions

1. Pour the cider into a pot and stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange peel.
2. Simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3. Remove from heat and let it cool fully.
4. Strain out the spices and peel, then stir in the moonshine.
5. Pour into a quart jar and seal.
6. Rest for 2 days, shaking once a day, then serve over ice.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Use a wide strip of orange peel, not grated zest, so the cider stays clear and the orange note stays clean.

*Calculated proof: about 23 percent ABV in the finished quart jar, based on 150 proof moonshine.
