Step 1

Place your pot on your heat source. Add the sugar and the water into the pot.

Step 2

Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Keep a close eye on your pot so the sugar does not burn.

Step 3

Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool completely.

Step 4

These steps have made a ‘simple syrup’.

Step 5

Once your simple syrup has cooled completely, you can add food coloring to give it its rich brown coloring if you used regular sugar. If you used raw sugar, your syrup will already be a nice brown hue.

Step 6

Once your syrup has cooled completely you are ready to assemble the rest of the ingredients.

Step 7

Fill a clean mason jar with your moonshine.

Step 8

Add your simple syrup.

Step 9

Add ½ cup of brandy

Step 10

Add 1 tsp butterscotch extract.

Step 11

Once all the ingredients have been added to the jar, place the lid on securely and shake for about 30 seconds. Allow the moonshine to sit for about 48 hours and you are ready to enjoy!
