Alright, so I’ve been messing around in the kitchen again, and this time, it’s with some Ole Smoky Moonshine. I’m a big fan of their stuff, especially the flavored ones. They just hit different, you know? Today, I decided to whip up something with their Strawberry Cream flavor. Let me tell you, this stuff is a game-changer for summer drinks.
First, I grabbed a big pot from the cupboard. You need something pretty big because we’re going to be making a decent amount of this concoction. I took out some strawberry puree that I made last weekend – if you’re using store-bought, that’s fine too. Just make sure it’s good quality because that’s what’s gonna make or break the flavor. I poured the puree into the pot, and man, it smelled like a strawberry field in there.
Next, I added whole milk. Don’t even think about using skim milk here. We want that creamy goodness, so whole milk is the way to go. I poured it right into the pot with the puree. Then, I mixed them up a bit, just to get things started.
Now comes the fun part – the moonshine. I opened a bottle of Ole Smoky Strawberry Cream Moonshine. They say you should keep these cream-based spirits refrigerated after opening, and they’re good for about six months. But honestly, who keeps these things around for that long? They’re too good! I poured a generous amount of the moonshine into the pot. No exact measurements here, just go with your gut. You can always adjust later.
Once everything was in the pot, I started stirring. You want to make sure everything is well combined. It’s like, you gotta introduce everyone to each other, let them mingle and get along, right? I kept stirring until the mixture was smooth and had a nice pink color. It looked pretty delicious already.
I decided to taste it, just to see where we were at. It was good, but I thought it could use a little something extra. Someone online mentioned adding a bit of fresh lime juice for a sour kick, so I did just that. I squeezed half a lime into the mix, and it really did brighten up the flavor. I stirred it in, and bam! Perfection!
Taste Test
- Initial Taste:
Sweet and creamy, with a strong strawberry flavor. The moonshine adds a nice warmth, but it’s not overpowering.
- After Adding Lime:
The lime juice cuts through the sweetness a bit and adds a refreshing tartness. It’s like a party in your mouth, all the flavors dancing together.
- Overall Impression:
This stuff is dangerously good. It’s the kind of drink you want to sip on all summer long. I can see myself making a big batch of this for the next barbecue or pool party.
I poured some of the mixture into a glass, added some ice, and topped it off with a splash of Sprite. I mean, you gotta have some bubbles, right? It looked like a fancy cocktail, but it was so easy to make. I took a sip, and oh boy, it was refreshing. The Sprite added a nice fizz and made the drink even lighter.
So there you have it. My little experiment with Ole Smoky Strawberry Cream Moonshine turned out to be a huge success. If you’re looking for a fun and tasty summer drink, give this a try. It’s super easy, and you can tweak it however you like. Just remember to “Shine Responsibly,” as they say at Ole Smoky. Cheers!
