[$25] If you’re unfamiliar with Moonshine, it was a prohibition era staple for southern booze runners and a direct contributor to the founding of NASCAR. It could give you one Hell of a buzz, or cause permanent blindness and death. After prohibition ended so did the drink’s prevalence, but it’s been making a comeback in recent years. If you’re feeling adventurous this weekend, we recommend stocking up on Junior Johnson’s Midnight Moon. Based on NASCAR/moonshine legend Junior Johnson‘s recipe, Midnight Moon is a premium corn-based spirit, triple distilled in an old school copper still. While it’s considered an un-aged whiskey, the flavor is comparable to a high quality vodka. Enjoy it in a variety of cocktails or straight up, like a real man. Pick it up at your local liquor store, or just ask any hillbilly.
*It’s also worth mentioning: this ‘shine is plenty safe to drink.
