Is it okay if we drink a little moonshine and forget our troubles?
Granted, my only 'troubles' are the weather went from snow to 90-degrees too quickly, and the fact that weekends only last 2 days. But, troubles are troubles, and moonshine soothes all.
Is there a pink drink that doesn't brighten your day?
A 'smash' is an easy drink to make: you smash fresh fruit in the bottom of a jar with a sprinkle of sugar, herbs if you like, and top with your alcohol of choice. For this rhubarb smash, I muddled fresh rhubarb and strawberries with sugar and lime. I think herbs overpower the raw rhubarb, so I left them out.
If you ask me which moonshine is the best, I'll tell you to drive to Tennessee and buy Popcorn Sutton's moonshine. I've tasted a lot of 'shine in my day, and Popcorn Sutton really knew what he was doing. His moonshine is smooth. Yes, smooth! Most other moonshines taste like rubbing alcohol (sorry it's true). So, that said, use moonshine if you like it and you live in Tennessee, if not, vodka works great here.
Drink up! Rhubarb season is short!

Confession: I've never had moonshine before. But I totally want to try it! Especially if I can make it all pink and rhubarby! :)

You know what my troubles are?? I CAN'T FIND ANY DAMN RHUBARB IN THIS DAMN CITY.
Not that it has me upset or anything....
*I want a pie and this drink and I want them together!!*
Christina says
So sad. I had a heck of a time finding it, too. I found it in my favorite grocery store, then went back for more the following week, and it was gone. I had to drive all the way across town for more. Then, it was $6/lb!
