Surprisingly, homemade moonshine is super easy to make, and it’s fun to “brew” your own!
Technically, it’s not true “moonshine” because you’re not distilling your own alcohol (moonshine is historically a catch-all term for illegally-made spirits). However, you’ll often see highly-potent flavored alcoholic beverages called moonshine these days. And that is definitely what this is!

Sweet Tart Moonshine Recipe
Yields: 4 mason jars (8-10 ounces each) – I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience in re-creating this recipe; disclosure policy available here.
Ingredients & Supplies
- 4 small 8oz- 10oz mason jars
- 6 cups Everclear
- 1-2 cups sweet tarts candy
Tip: Flavored moonshine takes about a week to reach it’s potential, so be sure to plan ahead.
How to make candy moonshine:
Separate sweet tarts by color. Add about 1/3 cup sweet tarts to each mason jar, one color candy per jar. You can add up to 1/2 cup candy if you like an especially flavorful drink.
Fill each mason jar with Everclear (about 1 cup) and seal the lid.
Shake each closed and sealed jar vigorously for one minute, then store in a cool dark place.
Check the jars daily, shaking each for about a minute. Keep stored, shaking 1-2 times per day for about a week.
After a week, remove lids and strain the liquid to remove any candy residue.
Tip: You can infuse your moonshine recipe for up to 2 weeks for more potent sweet tart flavor, however you don’t want to let the candy steep longer than that as it can be overload! I found these hints for infusing alcohol to be helpful.
Return to jarsย โ your moonshine is ready to enjoy!
Since it’s pretty potent stuff, you probably won’t use it all at once. No worriesย โ you can keep your moonshine sealed in jars in a cool place for up to a month.
Note: Please enjoy this recipe responsibly and legally! This is intended for adults 21+ and pleaseย no drinking and driving!
