Alcoholic - Moonshine Peach

Category: Drinks

128 oz white grape peach juice
30 oz sliced peaches in heavy syrup
2½ cups granulated sugar
6 - 7 cinnamon sticks
750 ml grain alcohol - I used 190 proof Everclear
750 ml bottle peach schnapps


1. In a large pot, bring juice, peaches w/ syrup, sugar, and cinnamon sticks to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
2. Remove from stove and allow mixture to cool to room temperature, then add the peach schnapps and grain alcohol. **CAUTION: Do not add alcohol near a flame or heat source. It is highly flammable. Make sure mixture is completely cooled before adding alcohol.
3. Stir well, then pour through a strainer layered with a cheesecloth to remove peaches and any pieces of the cinnamon sticks.
4. Divide peaches and cinnamon sticks evenly between the jars.
5. Ladle moonshine into clean mason jars, leaving a 1/2 inch head.
6. Place lids on jars and allow to sit in a cool, dry place for 8 weeks before enjoying.
