Notes about Moonshine Ingredients

It’s easy to make peach cobbler moonshine is made with a few simple ingredients. The main liquid is white grape peach concentrate juice. It’s easy to find at most supermarkets.

• White Grape Peach Juice: Any type of peach concentrate or flavored juice will work.
• Peaches: The recipe called for canned peaches in heavy syrup. You can use fresh or frozen peaches too. If you do, just add some peach nectar to replace the syrup from the canned peaches. I wouldn’t use dried peaches, though.
• Granulated Sugar: White Sugar is what I used but brown sugar is also fine.
• Cinnamon Sticks: This just adds a warm flavor to this easy recipe.
• Grain Alcohol:I used 190 proof grain alcohol, 151 can also be used if 190 proof is not available.
• Peach Schnapps: Use a bottle of peach schnapps or brandy, the best you can find.
