History of National Moonshine Day and How to Celebrate/ Observe It
National Moonshine Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of June. This day celebrates the history and heritage of moonshine and its place in American culture.
Moonshine is a type of distilled alcohol that is typically made in clandestine operations. It got its name from the fact that it was often made at night, by the light of the moon. Moonshine has been around since the 18th century, and was originally made from corn.
Today, moonshine is still made in secret, but it has also gained popularity as a craft spirit. There are now many legal distilleries producing high-quality moonshine.
On National Moonshine Day, we celebrate this unique American spirit. We raise a glass to its storied past, and to its bright future.
