Stars, Stripes & Shine
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 oz apple pie moonshine (or substitute cinnamon whiskey)
  • 1 oz blueberry vodka
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • Splash of club soda
  • Garnish: red cherry, fresh blueberries, and a tiny American flag
  • Optional: Rim the glass with red & blue sugar crystals for sparkle

INSTRUCTIONS
Chill the fireworks: In a shaker with ice, combine the moonshine, blueberry vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake like you're ringing the Liberty Bell. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of club soda for that celebratory fizz. Garnish with a skewer of blueberries and a cherry—or better yet, float a mini American flag in there.
