Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups Moonshine
- 2 for garnish Lemon slices
- 2 for garnish Strawberries
Instructions
Rinse and hull the fresh strawberries, then combine them with granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Strain the cooked strawberries through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl or pitcher, discarding the solids. This will create a strawberry syrup.
In the same mixing bowl or pitcher, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the remaining 2 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the moonshine and mix thoroughly. Adjust the sweetness and tartness to taste by adding more sugar or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the moonshine mixture into clean glass jars or bottles and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled over ice in a glass garnished with a lemon slice and a whole strawberry. Enjoy responsibly!
