Tips & Tricks (5)

Freeze Fresh Pineapple First 🍍
Freeze fresh pineapple chunks for 24 hours before infusing to break down cell walls, allowing deeper flavor extraction and faster infusion into the Everclear base.
Batch Infusion in Glass Only 🏺
Use glass jars exclusively for steeping—never plastic or metal—as the 190-proof alcohol can leach chemicals and affect the delicate tropical flavor profile over the 2-3 week infusion period.
Toast Orange Zest for Complexity 🍊
Lightly toast your orange zest in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the mixture; this caramelizes natural oils and adds subtle depth that balances the sweetness of the syrup and cream of coconut.
Strain Through Cheesecloth Twice 🧵
Filter your finished moonshine through cheesecloth twice—first coarsely, then finely—to remove all pulp particles and ensure crystal clarity and a silky smooth mouthfeel.
Chill Before Serving for Optimal Flavor 🧊
Refrigerate the finished moonshine for at least 48 hours before serving; cold temperatures mellow the alcohol burn and allow the pineapple, coconut, and citrus notes to blend harmoniously.
