Instructions

Add orange juice, pineapple juice and cream of coconut to large stock pot.

Stir in orange zest, orange slices and sugar.

Bring a boil then turn heat down to simmer.

Simmer for 15 minutes or until sugar is completely dissolved.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Stir Everclear and pineapple syrup into the cooled mixture.

Evenly divide the pineapple chunks between the jars. Ladle moonshine into jars and seal tightly.

Store in a cool, dark place for at least 8 weeks before enjoying.

Notes

This recipe uses Everclear 190 proof. If you can’t find it in your area, you can use Everclear 151 proof or vodka.

As long as you alcohol that is more than 80 proof, you can store your moonshine in tightly sealed jars for up to one year in a cool, dark place.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Proof Precision 🧪
Use Everclear 190 proof sparingly, as it's extremely potent - start with a 1:3 ratio of Everclear to other liquids to prevent an overly strong moonshine.
Fruit Infusion Magic 🍍
Allow fresh pineapple chunks to macerate in the alcohol mixture for at least 48 hours to maximize flavor extraction and create a more complex taste profile.
Zest Technique 🍊
When zesting the orange, use only the bright orange outer layer and avoid the bitter white pith underneath for a cleaner, more refined flavor.
Sweetness Balance 🍯
Gradually add sugar and taste as you go, as the Torani syrup and cream of coconut already contribute sweetness - aim for a balanced, not overly sweet moonshine.
Strain for Smoothness 🧊
After infusion, strain the moonshine through a fine-mesh cheesecloth multiple times to remove fruit particles and ensure a crystal-clear, smooth final product.
