Moonshine, a once forbidden southern spirit has recently made it's way into the mainstream with several brands launching their own high proof versions. As a neutral grain spirit, it does not have much flavor on its own which is why it makes the perfect blank canvas for some fun fresh infusions. We chose to pair tart fresh blueberries with basil to make this infusion stand out from the crowd. Try it served over ice with club soda, or mixed with some homemade lemonade.
