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.

Yes it can, I have made multiple double batches and I leave the peaches in it. I can it and leave it in my garage for months. The alcohol becomes stronger within the peaches themselves the longer it sits.
This is a great recipe. I love peach cobbler. To add a little something to this great recipe try putting whipped vodka in it with a little vanilla. By doing this it makes it taste like peach cobbler with vanilla Ice cream. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Sounds wonderful!! Will def try it next time I make it.
If you get the alcohol content to 20% or higher, fermentation will not occur and you can leave it in a cool dark place for months.
This is so amazingly delicious! I do can it for 5 minutes just to seal the jar. Unfortunately I cannot attest to the longevity because it is gone! Lol I’m on my 3rd double batch
Can this be canned – water batch or pc with the fruit in it for room temp storage?
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think it can.
Yes – 10psi for 10 minutes – perfect. Delicious!
How long can this stay in a mason jar if it’s sealed? Want to make this for Christmas presents
I have never canned it so I’m unsure if it’ll keep.
If you want to can it then the simple way is (If you have one) to use your (Vacume) Seal-a Meal jar canner, I make my own Moonshine and seal the pint jars that I give to my friend’s. You may be able to borrow one from a friend if you don’t own one, wishing you the best of luck.
As long as it’s sealed and out of direct sunlight several years, I make infused beverages and have kept some up to 5 years and counting, they are just smoother then the day I put in the jars. I did leave one out where it sat in the light and sun and it turned amber tasted ok, I like to cook the juice and will add the Everclear 15 minutes after I turn off burner and jar immediately then invert jars so they cool sitting on the lid causes a vacuum seal easiest way to do it, over buying expensive vacuum sealer, or traditional canning. Which requires more heat than needed.
Adding the alcohol to quickly without letting it cool to room temp first can/will kill the alcohol.
Can you use peach nectar juice? I was going to make it and freeze it. What do you mean by “it gets funky”?
You can.
The peaches break down and starts to get sour/ferment.
