White lightning . . . XXX . . . Firewater.
Whatever you call it, moonshine is America’s original rebel spirit.
 
Charles City, Virginia, 1620: colonist George Thorpe distills a batch of beer. But it isn’t beer at all. A new phenomenon is born—the concoction destined to become the pride of moonshiners and revelers passed down through the generations. And 400 years later, this 180-proof marvel in a jar is as American as apple pie.
 
From trendy bars to backyard barbeques, the new golden age of moonshine is here. Now award-winning author John Schlimm delivers the definitive tell-all about this elixir whose story embodies the growth of a nation and celebrates the immigrants who braved a new land to craft their uniquely American Dream—one copper still at a time.
 
This ultimate must-have for aspiring moonshine connoisseurs, boozy history buffs, and party seekers everywhere is a buzz-worthy ride through moonshine’s legendary history. From its roots in the hollows of Appalachia and keeping the good times flowing through Prohibition to its headlining status today as a pop culture icon, Moonshine tells the rip-roaring story of the moonshiners who became folk heroes for the ages and how their batches of XXX endure as the favorite thirst-quencher of millions.
 
While stirring the rebel in each of us, Moonshine also gives you a bootleg up on hosting get-togethers and parties with a dream stash of 100 recipes for infusions and cocktails using moonshine as a main ingredient—Moonshine Monkey, Dirt Road Colada, Lemongrass & Mint Mojito, Smokey Mountain S’More, and many more. Plus, other fun-starters throughout the book include moonshine-themed playlists and a how-to for throwing an unforgettable moonshiner’s movie night.
 
Moonshine: A Celebration of America’s Original Rebel Spirit proves once and for all that the best things in life still come in jugs and Mason jars.
