Orange Creamsicle Moonshine

Ingredients:

• 1 cup orange juice (no pulp)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups Everclear (or high-proof vodka)
• 1 cup whipped cream vodka (optional, but gives that extra creamy flavor)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves (don’t boil it).
2. Remove from heat. Let it cool completely.
3. Once cooled, stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract.
4. Add Everclear (and whipped cream vodka if using). Mix well.
5. Funnel into mason jars or bottles.
6. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before drinking — the flavors get better as it sits!

Notes:

• Shake well before serving because the cream can settle.
• Store in the fridge for up to 1 month.
• Serve chilled over ice or even blend with ice for a frozen treat!
