I am able to get this homemade moonshine ready to serve thanks to using sous vide infusion. This technique gets alcohols infused in less time. Hours instead of weeks! Be sure to try sous vide vanilla extract, cucumber infused gin, homemade limoncello and lilac infused alcohol…. all make with sous vide. Be sure to check out my complete collection of sous vide recipes.

What is moonshine?

Moonshine was once a term for high-proof spirits that were distilled, usually illegally, and without government authorization. In recent years moonshine has been legalized in various countries and has become a commercial product. Still runners, as they were called, would transport the illegal alcohol under the dark of night and with only the light of the moon.
