Tennessee Moonshine Meets the Tropics
Sugarlands has been distilling in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains since 2014, pairing traditional moonshine craft with modern flavor runs. Piña Colada is the classic tropical serve translated straight into the jar — pineapple and coconut milk doing the talking over an unaged corn-spirit base. It's the kind of bottle built for summer parties, tiki-adjacent cocktails, and anyone who thinks whiskey should taste like vacation — browse the Sugarlands shelf or see what else is moonshine at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Pineapple leads — fresh, bright, and forward — with creamy coconut milk rounding the edges. The moonshine base stays clean and light at 70 proof, so the fruit reads ripe rather than sugary.
How to Enjoy
Shoot it straight over ice for the full tiki-jail effect, or use it as the base of a frozen Piña Colada to double down on the theme. It also does simple work in punch bowls and blended summer drinks.
