Watermelon Lime Moonshine Recipe

Personally, I find the best way to savor it is by whipping up a Watermelon Moonshine Slushie. Let me tell you, it’s a heavenly and revitalizing treat!

The quality of the watermelon you choose makes a world of difference to your Moonshine. Every once in a while, you stumble upon a perfectly ripe watermelon, harvested at the peak of its season. Each bite takes you on a journey to food paradise.

However, we’ve all experienced the disappointment of taking a bite and discovering a bland, flavorless watermelon. To tackle this issue, I incorporate Watermelon Pucker into this recipe. It ensures that the drink bursts with flavor, regardless of the season or the quality of the watermelon.

Watermelons offer more than just a delicious taste. They are hydrating, promote digestion, and provide essential nutrients for your body. Plus, they make an excellent post-workout snack as they help alleviate muscle soreness.

Creating watermelon moonshine is a straightforward process. You’ll need watermelons, raisins, sugarcane, and yeast. All these ingredients will undergo the traditional moonshine-making steps, including mashing, fermentation, and distillation.

Watermelon Lime Moonshine Recipe

“The quality of the watermelon you choose makes a world of difference to your Moonshine.”

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 heaping cups of watermelon chunks about 1/2 a watermelon
• 1 cup Everclear
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 3 limes
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup-1 cup Watermelon Pucker

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine watermelon chunks and Everclear in a glass jar with lid.
2. In a small pot, combine lime juice, sugar, and water. Over medium heat, stir until sugar is fully dissolved (no need to bring it to a boil). Remove from heat and allow it to cool down.
3. Pour simple syrup into the jar.
4. Allow it to sit in the refrigerator overnight or up to 48 hours.
5. Pour contents of jar into a bowl and mash the watermelon with a potato masher, then strain mixture back into the jar.
6. Add in 1/2 cup of the Watermelon Pucker. Shake, taste to see if the flavor is to your liking. If not sweet enough or watermelon tasting enough add in additional Watermelon Pucker.
7. Store in your freezer until ready to enjoy.
8. Note: Always leave headroom in the jars for expansion. The mixture should not truly freeze up, however, err on the side of caution. Freeze overnight (or longer).
