Sugar Cookie Moonshine Recipe

ByKarl S

What if you could capture the sweet, buttery flavor of a fresh-baked sugar cookie — and give it a moonshine twist?

This Sugar Cookie Moonshine is rich, creamy, and dangerously delicious.
It’s the perfect dessert drink for the holidays, special occasions, or anytime you want a little nostalgia with a kick.

Let’s get baking… or rather, brewing!

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 but adds an authentic cookie flavor)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: sprinkles for garnish

Tip: Use a high-quality vanilla extract — it makes a big difference in flavor for this recipe!

Equipment

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

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sweet Base

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

Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a basic syrup.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Add the Flavors

Once the syrup is just warm (not hot), whisk in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
Then whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream until fully blended.

Important: Make sure the syrup isn’t hot when adding the milk and cream, or you could risk curdling.

Step 3: Add the Alcohol

Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the vanilla vodka and Everclear, mixing thoroughly to combine.

Note: Adjust the strength by adding a little more cream for a smoother, softer drink, or a little more Everclear if you want it stronger.

Step 4: Bottle It Up

Pour your Sugar Cookie Moonshine into clean mason jars or bottles.
Seal tightly and refrigerate.

Storing and Serving

  • Refrigeration: Always keep refrigerated. It’s good for up to 2–3 weeks because of the dairy content.
  • Shake Before Serving: Always shake the jar or bottle before pouring — the cream can separate slightly.
  • Serving Ideas: Serve chilled in small glasses, drizzle over ice cream, or use it as an adult creamer for coffee!
