Well, it isn't very high actually. Most recipes call for about 1 gallon of cider, 1 gallon of juice and a liter of 'shine, also lots of sugar and cinnamon. starting out moonshine is 150-190 proof usually. Just going off the dilution of alcohol to the cider/juice mix, Id say it wouldn't be anymore than 20-25 proof (about 10-12.5% ABV). So really, it's like drinking a wine cooler.

∙ 12y agoIt typically is in the mid to high 80's in proof. It may vary between producers depending on how they cut their own recipe...good moonshine should not freeze in your kitchen freezer, if it does you got a watered down batch and it is probably lower in alcohol content.

∙ 14y agoThe proof of moonshine can vary according to the still. It is frequently made and shipped from the still as a concentrate at 190 proof. Then it is diluted at the point of sale.

∙ 10y agoThe few I have seen that taste OK are 40 proof (20% alcohol by volume) which is a very weak moonshine...almost a light brandy!

How strong is moonshine?
Traditional Moonshine is usually cut to 80-100 proof, (40% - 50% ABV), however, if it is triple-distilled in a pot still it can reach 160 proof on the third run, (80% ABV), but this is much too hot to drink. Most legal moonshine as produced in VA and WVa is 90-100 proof, (45-50% ABV), to make it more palatable. Triple pot-distilled spirits are usually diluted with limestone spring water and ages a few weeks to soften it.
