Midnight Moon's legendary moonshine recipe forms the base of the brand's canned moonshine cocktails, which are blended with natural mixers for a slightly sweet and refreshing experience. The newest flavor from the brand, Peach Tea, boasts an 8% ABV kick, and it promises "big peach aromas and lovely peach flavor balanced with big, rich tea and lemon flavor." Peach Tea won Triple Gold at the 2022 MicroLiquor Spirit Awards and it was recognized with Gold honors at the SF World Spirits Competition.
Midnight Moon's Watermelon and Lightning Lemonade Canned Cocktails are also award winners and each of the summery flavors shines in its own right. From fruit soaked in moonshine to canned cocktails, moonshine is making a comeback.
