Shining: Ole Smoky Moonshine Family Cookbook

From the Publisher: Moonshine Mary

Serves 1

Especially on New Year's Day, bloody Marys and mimosas are staples for brunch when my family gets together. The moonshine adds a little kick to the basics.

You will need two highball glasses. In one of the glasses, combine the 3 ounces of Ole Smoky White Lightnin' Moonshine, 2 ounces of tomato juice, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 2 dashes of hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of horseradish, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir well to combine. Add ice. Pour the mixture back and forth between the glasses until you are satisfied it's well combined, usually 3 or 4 times. Garnish with a celery stick, olives, and a lemon wedge, as you like.

Moonshine Chili, 24-Hour Salad, and Wild Blackberry Cobbler are also included in this collection.

The moonshine adds a unique twist to the classic bloody Mary, elevating the flavors and providing a little extra kick. This Moonshine Mary is the perfect accompaniment to a New Year's Day brunch, or any occasion when you want to add a touch of fun and excitement to your cocktail lineup.

The combination of the sharp, earthy flavors of the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and horseradish, balanced by the acidity of the lemon juice and the richness of the tomato juice, creates a well-rounded and deeply satisfying drink. The Ole Smoky White Lightnin' Moonshine provides a smooth, slightly sweet base that ties everything together.

Garnishing the Moonshine Mary with a celery stick, olives, and a lemon wedge not only adds a visually appealing touch but also provides additional flavors and textures to the drink. The celery stick adds a refreshing crunch, the olives provide a briny, savory note, and the lemon wedge can be used to adjust the acidity to your personal taste.

Overall, the Moonshine Mary is a delightful twist on a classic brunch cocktail, perfect for enjoying with family and friends. The addition of the moonshine takes this drink to the next level, adding a unique and memorable flavor that is sure to impress your guests.
