Peach Cobbler Moonshine, aka Peach Moonshine, is slightly sweet, has a little kick, and is a delicious cocktail whether on its own or added to mixed drinks. By using fresh or canned peaches you can enjoy this party staple all year.
Peach Cobbler Moonshine, because Apple Pie Moonshine is SO last year!😉
Peach Cobbler Moonshine is the latest, greatest and tastiest cocktail recipe around! And, it’s perfect for entertaining and tailgating, which is exactly why I made it.
I sure wouldn’t want to go into the fall and tailgating football season without some new recipes!
PEACH COBBLER MOONSHINE
My Apple Pie Moonshine was such a hit (with my real-life friends and on the web) that I wanted to try another version. A friend gave me fresh peaches so there was my solution. I modeled this Peach Cobbler Moonshine recipe after the Apple Pie Moonshine recipe. However, I had a difficult time finding a base juice in a peach flavor. Therefore, I went with a white grape peach which I thought turned out good.
Peach Cobbler Moonshine is simple to make, the hardest part is waiting while it cools! To make it, you simply boil the peaches, juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon long enough to melt the sugar. I want to stress one point: Do not add the Everclear and Peach Schnapps until your mixture is cool. Add alcohol to boiling or hot liquid could cause a fire.
INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS YOU’LL NEED
- White grape peach juice.
- Fresh or canned peaches.
- Brown Sugar.
- Cinnamon.
- Everclear. Or whiskey, bourbon, or vodka
- Peach Schnapps.
For Peach Moonshine Whiskey substitute whiskey or bourbon for the Everclear. As well, You can use vodka instead of Everclear.
For a summer beverage, add your Peach Everclear to sweet tea. So good!!
TIPS FOR MAKING DIY MOONSHINE RECIPE
- You can easily double this recipe. The more the better! It’s great for a crowd. Simply use the -/+ for the servings to increase the servings.
- Feel free to add more cinnamon if you want a stronger cinnamon flavor. Certainly, you can omit if you don’t like cinnamon. The peach flavor is amazing on its own.
- Use any canning jar you like as well as any size.
PEACH MOONSHINE
- You want to store the Peach Cobbler Moonshine in the refrigerator. I personally think it tastes better if it sits for a couple of days to mellow out.
- I also prefer to strain out the peaches and leave just the liquid. You can make Peach Cobbler Bread Pudding or Peach Pound Cake with the peaches! Garnish your cocktail with fresh peaches and a sprig of mint.
- If peaches are not in season, you can use canned or frozen peaches. If you use canned peaches, get them packed in light syrup or the cocktail will be too sweet.

Love this recipe!! Have made it twice now with the second round given as gifts (and they were appreciated!!).
Does each serving really contain 54 kcals (5400 cals)? That seems way too high…??
The juice has a lot of sugar in it as well as the additional sugar added
Does this HAVE to be refrigerated or can it be left in a cool place to store it?
I really need to be refrigerated.
Refrigerated
I can not find White Grape Peach juice. What can I use in place of that?
Use all white grape juice
You can also try using the simply peach juice in the refrigerated section
I found Simply Peach juice in the fridge section of the store and made this and left the peaches in when we made it 2 weeks before we had a get together. had no issues with the peaches and it tasted fantastic!
What about using frozen peaches. I have so many peaches this year and I do not have enough time to can all of them. Only so many hours on weekends and work all week. Hope to hear soon. Thanks.
yep #3 in post
3. If peaches are not in season, you can use canned or frozen peaches. If you use canned peaches, get them packed in light syrup or the cocktail will be too sweet.
Could this be made in a non-alcoholic version?
I haven’t tried it without the alcohol, but it’d probably be good.
Could canned peaches be used instead of fresh?
yes
How long can you store this recipe?
3 to 5 days refrigerated
If it a Mason jar can it last more 4 to 5 days
Whit out the fruit
Do you think Peach Cider could be used as the base juice?
I’ve never had peach cider so I’m going off what I know about apple cider. I think it could, it would be more ‘earthy’ and not as sweet.
I used peach cider and it turned out fantastic.
I used 16 qts of juice, 8 cups of sugar, 2 bottles of everclear, and 2 bottles of peach vodka. What’s my proof at the end.
Find the proof of any alcohol and % with a hydrometer. Find one on amazon cheap
You cannot use a hydrometer to proof this type of recipe.. those are used for recipes in which fermentation occurs. In this recipe you’re simply mixing alcohol in.
what if any would the problem be to keep the sliced peaches in the mixture to marinade them for items like ice cream I used to make something similar German dish called rumtoff with a syrupy consistency to put over pound cake ice cream etc. may I have your views on this thanks a bunch
I left them in for a few days and they broke down and got really mushy and they almost fermented and gave the moonshine a bad taste. I think the peaches would be fine to remove and save, just not with the liquid. The alcohol, I think, is just to strong for them.
Check out Walton’s Distillery for peach moonshine.
How long will this last if refrigerated? If air tight, will it last if not refrigerated? Thanks!
About 5 days refrigerated. It will get bad fast if not refrigerated.
I am making this right now, and I have already messed up. I added the alcohol to the pot to boil. Do I need to throw this out and start over?
Hey, sorry, I just saw this. No harm other than boiling the alcohol out. It prob still taste good.
When you boil alcohol, it evaporates.
I am making this recipe right now. I messed up. I’ve added the alcohol in the pot to boil, instead of waiting for mixture to cool at room temperature. Do I have to throw this away and start over?
Is it possible to replace Everclear with Vodka or something similiar? Where I live it’s almost impossible to get alcohol over 40%
Yes, you can substitute Everclear
Now if I make this and store it in canning jars how long will it last?
It needs to be refrigerated and it’ll last 2 to 3 weeks
