Harvest Moonshine

The Tale of the Harvest Moonshine

As the autumn air cools and the harvest season begins, the Harvest Moonshine is a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the spirit of gathering. Inspired by the roots of moonshining in the Appalachian hills, where farmers would turn their crops into liquid gold under the light of the harvest moon, this cocktail is a tribute to that legacy.

Blending smooth Shucked™ Bourbon with crisp apple cider, a dash of lemon, and a hint of warming cinnamon, the Harvest Moonshine brings the richness of the season into a glass. Served over ice in a rustic mason jar, it’s the perfect companion for cool evenings, bonfires, and gatherings with friends. This drink is more than just a nod to moonshine—it’s a toast to the time-honored tradition of making something beautiful from the bounty of the land.

Sip, savor, and let the flavors of autumn wrap around you, just like the glow of the harvest moon.
