Sugarlands Shine Root Beer Moonshine

Sugarlands Root Beer Moonshine resurrects the nostalgic American root beer flavor in moonshine form — sassafras root for welcoming earthiness, creamy vanilla undertones, and a whisper of wintergreen for the effervescent finish that echoes the root beer barrel candies cherished by generations, in a Gatlinburg moonshine base that gives it more depth than any soda.

Root beer’s complex flavor — sassafras, vanilla, wintergreen, and warm spice — was originally derived from botanicals that grew in the American wilderness, making it a natural companion to Appalachian moonshine that is also rooted in the same botanical tradition. Sugarlands’ version is a flavor study in the original root beer character: mellow sassafras earthiness, creamy vanilla smoothness, and the subtle wintergreen note that provides the characteristic effervescent finish. Works as a shot, mixed with cream soda for a root beer float spirit, or over vanilla ice cream.
