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.

Could this be stored in a dark, cool room if the jar was sealed through a canning process? Or will it still need to be refrigerated?
I think it should still be refrigerated.
I’ve made this several times and keep coming back for more. This last time (being from Texas), I put some freshly picked sliced jalapeño halves in the mix and it was a huge hit at my last company party. Spicy is not typically associated with peach cobbler, but it was amazing.
Wow, I love that! Def will try. Thanks for commenting.
Making this now for the football season… planned on letting it age 4 weeks in the fridge, will it be okay?
I plan on making a Peach syrup this year while canning peaches. Would I be able to use this syrup in place of the grape juice? If so, the same amount? Thanks
Yes, you can and I’d use the same amount.
I just tried your recipe, but I made some changes. I used double the juice, 3 cups of sugar, an ENTIRE 750 ml bottle of Everclear, and an entire 750ml bottle of Peach Schnapps. OMG it turned out so good, everyone loved it. I am now in the process of making multiple batches to give as gifts for Christmas. A one pint jar of this is enough to annihilate you, and a friend! The longer you let it sit, the smoother and stronger it gets!
Regular sugar or brown?
Just recently got into the moonshine making. So far, I’ve made the Dreamsicle, Lemon, and Apple Pie. All three turned out way beyond fantastic.!!! Had a policeman tell me “I was dangerous” after he had some of my Lemonade Shine. Made me one proud chickie. When I package my pride n joy, I fancy it up. Put labels on each jar, ribbons tied around top, and wrap each jar in different colored mesh. Then into the baskets, wrapped up with mesh and ribbon. I always include list of ingredients, and how to store, and to always shake well before opening. I use one liter or more to every batch, of 190 proof Everclear. Of course, I can not sell this product, but I suggest a small donation will be acceptable, to help me with the cost of all I use. They in turn, have the pleasure of getting more shine, free of charge. A lesson learned; when tasting your product, take small sips. Very small sips.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.!!
And thank you for commenting and sharing how you package yours. I love that!! Keep shining 😉
Anthony/ Paula i didn’t see how much shine was called for, is it a gallon for what the recipe ingredients and you just added more everclear and schnapps,
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
