Coconut Moonshine
Ingredients:
4 cups Everclear or other high-proof spirit (at least 100 proof)
1 cup coconut rum
2 cups sweetened, flaked coconut
4 tsp corn syrup
6 tsp vanilla extract
4 mason jars with lids
Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
Instructions:
Divide ingredients Evenly distribute the coconut flakes, corn syrup, and vanilla extract among the four mason jars.
Add spirits Pour 1/4 cup of coconut rum into each jar.
Top off Fill each jar the rest of the way with Everclear.
Infuse Seal the jars tightly and place them in a cool, dark place for four weeks.
Shake daily Shake the jars every two days to aid the infusion process.
Strain After four weeks, strain the liquid through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove the coconut flakes and any solids. You may need to strain it multiple times to achieve clarity, similar to making coconut-infused rum.
Store Pour the finished coconut moonshine back into clean mason jars and seal them. Store in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
