Milwaukee baseball figure Corey Hart and [Central Standard Craft Distillery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-brandy) have collaborated to introduce a new premium moonshine, Corey Hart’s #1 Ballpark Shine. The beverage is a tribute to Hart's remarkable career and the city's baseball heritage.

The Corey Hart’s #1 Ballpark Shine is crafted with lemon-flavored vodka and smoked lemon. As such, the premium moonshine has a smooth and robust flavor profile with smoky citrusy notes. The beverage offering is also versatile and is suitable for consumption neat, on the rocks, or as a mixer.

With an ABV of 30%, the moonshine is available exclusively at [Central Standard Crafthouse & Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pour-ready-premium-cocktails) in downtown Milwaukee, with plans for statewide distribution. Consumers interested in locally sourced, award-winning craft spirits may find this collaboration intriguing, especially if they are fans of Corey Hart and the [Milwaukee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-life). The product's connection to the city's baseball culture and its unique flavor profile make it appealing to enthusiasts of craft cocktails and artisanal spirits.
