Recipe Wednesday: Original Moonshine

February 2, 2011 · Posted In: Recipe Wednesdays

Created by Stillhouse CEO and Co-Founder Brad Beckerman and Co-Founder Adam Perry Lang, celebrity chef and restaurateur, Original MOONSHINE is handcrafted from 100% estate-grown corn and distilled four times in a Prohibition-era copper pot still in the same authentic tradition that moonshine has been made for years. At 80-proof, the all-natural gluten-free recipe is charcoal-filtered for the highest purity, quality and taste. Original MOONSHINE has a smooth, mellow taste, with a mild, warm sweetness of unrefined raw sugar while retaining the richness of freshly picked corn. Enjoy your Original MOONSHINE neat, on the rocks or in one of these Valentines Day inspired recipes that mixologist Michael Parish  mixed up for this week’s Recipe Wednesday.  Say’s Parish, “The unique sweetness and creaminess of Original Moonshine lends itself to being a great spirit for mixability. The spirit was perfect to mix with other Valentine’s Day inspired ingredients such as strawberry, chocolate, raspberry and cherry.”
