Mojito Moonshine
Mojito Moonshine Drink has all the flavors you loved from a mojito, lime juice, sugar, and mint. Plus, it has the real kick of moonshine in it. This flavored moonshine is refreshing and tangy but with a punch that we love about moonshine. Usually, I make moonshine around the holidays, however, this is my favorite go to summer drink. The diy moonshine is perfect to serve over ice or mix with ginger ale or sprite and top with some fresh mint. No need for bootleg whiskey or moonshine distillers to make this cocktail.
