How to Make Moonshine Mojito Recipe

These are the basic steps for making everclear moonshine recipes. Please refer to the recipe card below for more detailed instructions and nutrition information. Overall alcohol content will vary based on what you mix with your homemade moonshine recipes.

STEP 1: MUDDLE AND MIX

First, Make the simple syrup mixture, make sure all the sugar dissolves, then in a large pot or container stir the mint and use the handle of a wooden spoon to mash and muddle the mint so it releases the oils. Add limeade, Everclear, rum and flavored liquid simple syrup. Add the juice of 3 limes and the lime halves to the container.

STEP 2: REFRIGERATE

Then cover and store in the refrigerator for 3 days. After 3 days, remove moonshine and strain out the limes and mint pieces and then ladle moonshine into clean mason jars, leaving a ½ inch head.

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE AHEAD OF TIME

This recipe has to rest for about a month before enjoying. Otherwise it is way to strong and the flavors for moonshine do not have a chance to blend and meld together. Therefore, you should prepare about a month before you are ready to use it.

Of course, make the amount that you need. But it is nice to make extra and have it on hand for gift giving and impromptu parties.

      I put in Fridge for the first 3 days to get everything married together, but once I jar it up, I put mine in the basement where its cool (50’s) and dark. During the winter when I make it I throw it right out on my deck in the snow in the post with lids on. I’ve actually left it out there for almost 2 weeks before I jarred it up. Even under freezing temperatures it never froze. I think when I do it that way it tastes so much better, not sure why.

  1. I love these Moonshine recipes, but I don’t know how to serve them? I would like to make some up for Christmas gifts and put tags on jars telling how to serve. Example: Is Pumpkin served warm? The cranberry warm? Is the Mojito served over ice straight or mixed with soda, etc? Thank you for your reply.

    • I usually enjoy them straight out of the jar but you can easily mix them to make other cocktails. You can serve them warm, just remember that some of the alcohol may evaporate out.

        I usually do straight out of the jar as well. When I bring jars to a party or gathering I will generally bring small plastic shot glasses and just pass them out with the jars. They never last long

  2. This sounds so good and I’d love to make it but I’m confused about one of the ingredients. Is “2 oz containers of limeade 59” correct? Do you mean 2 ozs from a limeade container?

  3. 4 stars
    The recipe is not very clear on the limeade portion. Can you give me that measurement please? (Just finished making a 24-quart batch of strawberry lemonade shine – bring on summer!)
