Recipe for Orange Creamsicle Moonshine!

* 1 1/2 cups of white sugar

* 4 cups of water

* 1 cup of orange juice concentrate (thawed)

* 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

* 2 cups of 190-proof grain alcohol (or high-proof vodka)

* 1 cup of half-and-half (or heavy cream for a creamier version)

Equipment:

* Large saucepan

* Funnel

* Large mixing bowl

* Glass jars or bottles for storing

Directions:

1. Prepare the Simple Syrup:

* In a large saucepan, combine white sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the simple syrup to cool.

2. Add Orange Flair:

* Stir in the thawed orange juice concentrate and vanilla extract into the cooled simple syrup. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

3. Bring on the Spirits:

* Pour in the 190-proof grain alcohol (or high-proof vodka) into the mixture. Stir to combine, creating the base of your moonshine.

4. Creamy Finish:

* For a creamy touch, add half-and-half to the mixture. If you prefer a richer version, opt for heavy cream. Blend until the consistency is smooth.

5. Bottle Up the Bliss:

* Using a funnel, carefully pour the Orange Creamsicle Moonshine into glass jars or bottles for storing. Ensure they are sealed tightly to preserve the freshness.
