Okay, so you typically won’t find me drinking moonshine on any old day. But when this time of year rolls around, and it’s an apple pie moonshine cocktail, well…that’s something I can get behind. Being on the brink of fall, I’m adding apples to just about everything I’m eating and drinking which includes this drink! This cocktail is incredibly simple to mix together, and would make for a great batch drink or punch at your tailgate, bonfire, or Halloween party. And don’t be afraid of the whole “moonshine” aspect, I promise it’s not as potent as the tales will have you believe.
For my apple pie moonshine coctkail, you’ll want to find apple pie moonshine if you can, but if you can’t, don’t worry. Simply add apple cider (this is my favorite) into your regular moonshine for a sip that’s still as seasonal as it gets. Pour your shine and cider over ice (I love these giant ice cubes), add a squeeze of fresh lemon, and garnish with crisp granny smith apples and whole cinnamon sticks. Mix, settle in and get cozy! Truly, MKR
