Haha that's always the worst part. There is really nothing you can do but wait haha.

 

I need some more legit shine!

 

It's cooled now, and it's awesome! Thanks for the recipe!

What is it?

 

It's called Texas shine apple pie flavor. Originally went to get ole smokey but they didn't have any and the other ole smokeys said about 15% so I said eff that. Clerk recommended this and it's 35%. So far I I like it and so has the 4 other people that I have let taste it

 

You should come wheel this weekend....

 

If I could I would.. Gots an eye appointment at 11:30 and still dirt broke

 

Get to the port and ride with me

 

No gas to get to the port I accidentally went negative during the Christmas shopping

 

Hitchhike bitch!

 

Forgot about that. Let me shave my legs

 

Thumb out!

 

I thought it was ass out?

 

Thumbs out, thighs out?

 

Sounds about right

 

Saw some popcorn sutton brand at the liquor store the other day.

 

Let me let you in on a little secret, if it has a label and you purchased this at a place of business, it ain't real shine. The real thing usually comes through a friend or a friend of a friend. Cash on delivery, on a dirt road, face to face. At least that's how it's done down here in the good ol' "Heart of Dixie". Roll Tide and Merry Christmas y'all.

 

I have to agree. Around here in the mountains of WNC that's how you get it, from a friend or a friend of a friend. I don't think it was as easy to get until this year, I now know several ways to get it.

 

Tim Smith from "Moonshiners" will be at a local liquor store here in town this Friday promoting his 'shine. So you say he's selling "fake" moonshine? Corn liquor is corn liquor no matter where you get it. Personally I think it's great being able to drive a mile up the road to the liquor store and having 4 or 5 different brands to choose from and knowing they are safe to drink.

Now, for my contribution to the recipe bank. A buddy of mine at work gave me this simple recipe for Apple Pie. I was skeptical at first because of how easy it sounded, but it turned out great. I took a couple of jars on a camping trip last Sept. and the guys loved it!

Apple Pie...
5 cups of apple juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
cinnamon sticks
1 fifth of Georgia Moon (or similar) moonshine

Combine apple juice, sugar and honey in a pot and bring to a gentle boil. Add 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks and simmer for a few minutes. Turn off the heat and cover the pot and allow it to cool for a while. Add the moonshine and stir. Pour into jars and add a slice of apple and one or two of the cinnamon sticks. It's good right away, but I think it has a smoother taste after a couple of days in the refrigerator. This makes about 2.5 quarts. If I want my batch to be a little stronger, I just add another 1/2 jar of moonshine. It's good both ways. My buddy uses the smaller pint sized canning jars and gives these as gifts for Christmas.

Another idea I saw was while watching Moonshiners a couple of weeks ago. "Tickle" put 4 candy canes in a blender and chopped them up. He then poured a quart of shine into a pot with the chopped-up candy canes and warmed it up until they dissolved. Don't boil it or the alcohol will evaporate. He poured it back into the jar, added a couple of peppermint leaves and sealed it up.
I tried this recipe and felt it needed more peppermint so I added 4 more candy canes. It's so good even my wife liked it. I gave one away as a Christmas gift this year. I may try using cinnamon candy sticks next time.
