I got me some moonshine!

I bought a jar (yep, a mason jar) of a Georgia Moon Corn Whiskey at my local liquor store. Now, I've never had moonshine before, so my question is: how do I drink it? It's 80 proof, so should I mix it half-and-half with water? Or some other mixer, i.e. ginger ale, 7 up? should I shoot it straight up or just sip it?

i like to drink mine plain

Dude, if you purchased it at a Liquor Store....that ain't moon shine. ; )

Lol, it's probably as related to true 'shine as Mcdonald's is related to all beef hamburgers.

I'd probably drink it however you like to drink your vodka.

that's just grain alcohol man, it aint true shine, you gotta make your own shine it's pretty easy. take a sip if ulike it drink it, if not mix it.

It's actually fairly smooth.

Used to get it when I was in grad school, cheap decent whiskey type beverage. Not as harsh as I had expected.

Revy is most certainly correct, PLEASE don't talk about making distilled stuff here. Whole big ugly mess.

Enjoy your erzatz shine and brew some good beer.

Only time I had shine was when I was a kid. Mowing my friends yard with him. He disappeared around the house and went I came around a few minutes later, his dad was sitting with him at the picnic table with some imported Kentucky or Tennessee moonshine. I took a nip and thought it was pretty nasty. Still don't like strong liquor today.

I've thought about making some myself, but I'm having too much fun brewing beer to spend time making something that I would probably never drink.

80 proof ain't shine!
