Moonshine is one of the most popular strong drinks in the post-Soviet space. This is due to several reasons. Firstly, such alcohol is cheaper, which is important when there is another crisis in the yard. Secondly, the ability to make a high-quality product with your own hands, bring confidence and satisfaction. It is not necessary to list all the reasons - they are obvious. But still, drinking ordinary moonshine, albeit filtered according to all the rules, is quite everyday. But a moonshine cocktail with an extraordinary aroma and natural ingredients will amaze any gourmet to the very heart. In addition, such a drink will save the day at any festivities and parties, and the variety of possible options for drinking is simply incredible.

Moonshine cocktail: universal recipe

Of course, this is an ordinary, familiar to everyone "Screwdriver", created on an alcohol basis.

1. Moonshine (preferably double distillation or as purified as possible) - 3 parts. If the drinkwith a pronounced taste, it does not matter - the juice perfectly neutralizes it.
2. Freshly squeezed orange juice - 7 parts. In the absence of freshly squeezed, you can use packaged. Only it should be juice, not a drink (the percentage is indicated on the package).
3. Ice.
4. Mix all ingredients, insert cocktail tubes and serve.

Note: juice can be replaced with orange or lemon Fanta on occasion. Then the moonshine cocktail will also turn out to be carbonated. But keep in mind, it will contain a huge amount of sugar, and the naturalness of the product will drop to almost zero.

Moonshine with cola

The next cocktail can be prepared in much the same way (similar to drinks such as Gin with Cola or Whiskey Cola). The ratio of components is 3/7, but for extreme lovers you can take a stronger one: 1/3 or even 1/2 (the first figure is the proportion of moonshine). This moonshine cocktail strongly resembles the classic Whiskey Cola brand. The use of ice is encouraged.

Wild Mojito

Another variation that will make the party unforgettable. An excellent alternative to the popular "Mojito", so adored by many of the fairer sex. And real Russian machos called him "Mokhitovka".

1. We take only high-quality distillate - 1 liter.
2. Lime and its zest - 4 pieces.
3. Up to 20 pieces (or more) fresh mint leaves.
4. A little sugar syrup to taste (inmainly for ladies).
5. Desired number of ice cubes.

Don't forget the cocktail straws, and here's another masterpiece for an incendiary party!

With prunes

Moonshine with prunes is a great cocktail option for meeting old friends when you want to remember the past and use something stronger. Prunes are in perfect harmony with moonshine flavor, turning it into a noble composition, akin to cognac.

First you need a certain amount of moonshine (a glass) to insist on the fruits of pitted prunes (100 grams) and a handful of crushed rose hips. This tincture should be kept in a dark place for about a month.

After which the resulting composition should be drained. After that, you need to enter a few tablespoons of natural honey, fragrant spices, vanilla and add pure moonshine to the container until you get a liter.

Put a lot of ice in the cocktail containers and fill them with a noble drink.

Raspberry Cocktail

Moonshine, ennobled in this way, will appeal to the beautiful half of humanity. We will need:

• half a liter of good distillate;
• a glass of homemade raspberry liqueur;
• a glass of raspberry juice.

Raspberries can be replaced with strawberries - also very tasty. Mix all ingredients in a shaker. Adding crushed ice is welcome. A moonshine cocktail is served in martini glasses. Garnished with mint, orange, lemon or lime slices. You can add a cocktail cherry. Easy to drink andrelaxed, soft taste perfectly neutralizes the brutal aromas of moonshine.

Layer

This cocktail looks elegant and is drunk with pleasure. We will need (the dosage is indicated for 1 serving, so it must be multiplied by the number of people):

• thick cherry liqueur - 20 ml;
• 70 ml double distillate;
• freshly squeezed orange juice with pulp - 70 ml;
• 30 ml red dessert wine;
• ice (crushed or cubed).

Pour ice into a wide tumbler. There we carefully pour the liquor from cherries, then fill the container with moonshine, orange juice with pulp, and on top with wine. Everything must be done with care (this comes with experience) so that the inviolable layers are preserved. Serve glasses with straws.

Classic "Ruff"

Soviet traditions continue to be observed by some fans of strong drinks. Many people know that the best Yorsh cocktail is obtained precisely with the participation of moonshine, where the taste of the drink is most vivid compared to, for example, vodka. So, we take a mug (0.5 l) of good dense beer, moderately chilled and with a bright hoppy taste. Now there are many options for such drinks. The so-called live beer is best suited. Pour 50 ml and add the same amount of moonshine there. We drink in small sips. There is no need to throw ice, and there is no need to use a straw too much.

Polar Bear

The Soviet version of the simplest cocktail is prepared by mixing moonshine (in the original -alcohol) with champagne. Proportions in different variations fluctuate. But basically stick to the following: one part of moonshine is mixed with three parts of champagne. By the way, for those who have not tried it, experts recommend: it turns out a rather gentle and pleasant drink, despite the bad reputation. True, very intoxicated.

Humble Shpok

A classic Soviet-era cocktail can also be made with homemade distillate. So, we take 50 grams of beer and pour it into a glass. Top gently - 100 grams of moonshine. We hold the glass from above with the palm of our hand, turn it over and hit it sharply on the knee. We turn it over as quickly as possible to its original position and drink the mixture very quickly until it emits a characteristic hiss provoked by a blow. Such a drink with the addition of special effects.

Elite Nectar

This cocktail will appeal to many.

• orange juice (preferably natural) - 2 parts;
• Moonshine - part 1;
• "Soviet champagne" - part 1;
• canned pineapple rings, finely chopped or pureed - 1 part;
• a little lemon zest and ice;
• add a spoonful of sugar.

Shake everything thoroughly and pour into glasses, decorating them with lemon slices. Drink in small sips. It is best to prepare the drink in large quantities at once, as it is extremely popular at any party.
