Moonshine Recipes!

Many people are jumping on the moonshine bandwagon since it became legal to make in Tennessee. Short Mountain Distillery began creating moonshine for over 150 years. The Kaufman Brothers are using the same recipe from back then, and farm grown corn milled at the on-site mill.

The Tennessee moonshine from the Short Mountain Distillery is 105 proofs, authentic local moonshine. Some people may find straight moonshine to be too strong. Billy, David, Ben, and Darian Kaufman have created perfectly blended moonshine and many recipes to satisfy all discerning drinkers.  

One of the most popular liquors of Short Mountain Distillery is their signature Short Mountain Shine. The flavors of sweet corn and cool peppermint combine for a smooth finish. Short Mountain Shine is double distilled from heirloom corn, and mashed with cane sugar in this top shelf moonshine.

For something a little sweeter, try Short Mountain Apple Pie. This preferred Nashville moonshine is a combination of grandma's apple pie and a kick of Tennessee Moonshine.

A local favorite from Cannon County, Tennessee is ShortMountain Prohibition Tea. Like the others, Prohibition Tea is both sweet and strong with peaches. Using the same corn mash, adding spring water and the recipe of the Kaufman's great-grandfather, this is one perfect tea.
