Great America Moonshine

Great America Malt Specialty

I postponed a Pinterest drink this week to bring you a taste test with Marci that involves this Great America moonshine. Actually it’s a ‘malt specialty’. I thought it was going to be an adorable version of Mike’s Hard Lemonade that I stumbled upon. I’m like a child. I don’t read labels, I see the pretty packaging and colors and think I need it in my life. Pretty sure it’s exactly that mentality necessary for these drinks to sell because Lord knows it’s not the taste. See for yourself:

People have mentioned perhaps MIXING these potent concoctions straight from the jar and I suppose we could have found a drink to put the drink in, but what can I say? Marci and I live dangerously.

Have a great weekend!
