Moonshine – hooch, white lightning, mountain dew, XXX is an un-aged, colorless spirit made from cornmeal, yeast, sugar, water, and malt. The term moonshine comes from the fact that distilling illegal liquor was done underground or in the “moonlight”.
Some moonshine is now legal to produce and is rocketing into popularity. Today’s white lightning and flavored ‘shines are used in our recipes to create outstanding signature drinks.Bootlegging originated during the American Civil War, when soldiers would sneak liquor into the army camps by concealing bottles in their boots. During the prohibition era of the 1920’s bootleggers delivered illegal shine from state to state.
