Firefly Strawberry Moonshine

Released in 2013 by Firefly Distillery on Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina, it is moonshine in the Southern craft sense: smooth, fruit-forward, and built for easy drinking.

Moonshine Goes Strawberry
Firefly made its name with sweet tea vodka; the moonshine line took the same philosophy — real ingredients, smooth delivery — into white-whiskey territory. Strawberry is the friendliest of the bunch: the clean white-whiskey base lets the berry do the talking, and at 41 proof it drinks like a cordial with character. It's the bottle that converts moonshine skeptics. Browse the moonshine collection or see all of Firefly Spirits at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Fresh strawberries and cream on the nose with a clean spirit lift. The palate is sweet and berry-forward — strawberry jam, light vanilla — finishing smooth and short with lingering fruit.
How to Enjoy
Chilled, neat, or over ice — it drinks like a dessert cordial. Also good splashed over ice cream or mixed with lemonade for a strawberry-moonshine cooler.
