If you love the warm, cozy flavors of cinnamon-sugar cookies, you’re going to flip for this Snickerdoodle Moonshine.

It’s rich, sweet, a little spicy, and tastes like the holidays in a jar — but with a powerful moonshine kick.

Perfect for sipping by the fire, gifting to friends, or turning any chilly night into something special.

Let’s get started!

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups vanilla vodka
• 1½ cups Everclear (or another high-proof neutral spirit)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for richer cookie flavor)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Optional: extra cinnamon and sugar for rimming glasses

Tip: Use Saigon cinnamon for an even more intense cinnamon flavor!

Equipment

• Large saucepan
• Whisk
• Large mixing bowl
• Mason jars or glass bottles

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cinnamon Syrup

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and ground cinnamon.

Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the cinnamon is well incorporated.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Add the Creamy Goodness

When the syrup is warm (not hot), whisk in the vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.

Whisk until completely smooth.

Important: Never add dairy to hot syrup — let it cool to avoid curdling.

Step 3: Add the Booze

Pour the mixture into a large bowl.
Stir in the vanilla vodka and Everclear.
Mix thoroughly.

Note: You can adjust how strong it is — more cream for a smoother, softer drink, more Everclear for a punchier finish.

Step 4: Bottle It Up

Pour your Snickerdoodle Moonshine into clean mason jars or glass bottles.
Seal tightly and refrigerate.

Storing and Serving

• Refrigeration: Always store in the fridge. It’s best consumed within 2–3 weeks due to the dairy.
• Shake Before Serving: Shake the jar well each time before serving, as separation is normal.
• Serving Ideas: Serve chilled, over ice, or rim your glass with cinnamon sugar for an extra festive touch!

Final Thoughts

Snickerdoodle Moonshine captures everything you love about the classic cookie — buttery, sugary, cinnamon-spiced flavor — with a grown-up twist.

It’s rich, warming, and absolutely perfect for cozy nights, holiday parties, or creative cocktail making.

Cheers!
