Homemade Blackberry Moonshine Recipe

No need to worry about blowing up your moonshine still! Anyone can make this homemade blackberry moonshine recipe with just a few simple ingredients and patience.

Phase 1 (3 weeks)
Ingredients:

1 Liter 190 proof grain alcohol (Everclear). You can find it at liquor stores.

3 6 0z. containers of fresh blackberries
Directions:
Pour the grain alcohol into a 1/2 gallon jar with a lid.

Add all of the blackberries.

Crush the blackberries with a wooden spoon.
Seal the jar and let it sit for 3 weeks.
Shake the jar every other day.

Phase 2 (2 weeks)
After the alcohol and blackberries have sat for 3 weeks, you’ll make a simple syrup to add to the mixture.

Ingredients:
4 cups water
3 cups sugar

Directions:
Bring water to a boil and add sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves then let cool to room temperature.
While the simple sugar mixture is cooling, take your alcohol and blackberry mixture and strain out the remaining blackberries.

Return the alcohol mixture into its jar and pour in the simple sugar mixture.

Seal the jar and let sit for 2 weeks or longer.
The resulting moonshine is strong at 95 proof with a wonderful blackberry flavor.
Serve as a chilled shot or use the moonshine to make tasty jello shots.

Yes, like apple pie moonshine

Uses 100% apple juice and a stick of cinnamon.

check out the Upvote/Downvote thread on the OT

No, no you put the moonshine in the apple pie then eat it.
