Total Time: 24 hours and 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 25 fl oz (750ml) of high-proof unflavored moonshine or Everclear
- 8.45 fl oz (250ml) of water
- 8.45 fl oz (250ml) of granulated sugar
- 17 fl oz (500ml) of fresh orange juice, no pulp
- 8.45 fl oz (250ml) of French vanilla coffee creamer
- 1 tbsp of pure vanilla extract
- A hint of orange zest
- Orange food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by concocting a simple syrup. Mix water and granulated sugar in a pan over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a sweet foundation for our Bliss Shine. Allow it to cool; it will harmonize the bold and tangy flavors in our concoction.
- Why is this important? This syrup acts as a balancing agent between the zesty orange and the bold alcohol, ensuring a smooth and harmonious flavor experience.
- In a large bowl, blend the cooled sweet foundation with fresh orange juice, vanilla extract, and creamy French vanilla creamer, ensuring a seamless integration of flavors.
- Why is this important? Each ingredient contributes a unique note – the orange juice offers a citrusy zest, the vanilla extract provides sweet aromatic undertones, and the creamer bestows a velvety texture.
- Gradually introduce the moonshine to the mixture, stirring delicately to marry the potent spirit with our flavorful blend.
- Why is this important? The spirit is the essence of our Bliss Shine, imparting a lively kick. Integrating it slowly preserves the creamy consistency and allows the flavors to mingle effectively.
- Desire a brighter orange hue? Incorporate a few drops of orange food coloring. A sprinkle of orange zest can intensify the citrus aroma in your elixir.
- Why is this important? Personalizing the appearance and aroma ensures your Bliss Shine is a feast for the eyes and the nose, enhancing the overall enjoyment.
- Pour the blend carefully into clean bottles, secure them tightly, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. This patience allows the flavors to deepen and merge, maximizing the taste experience.
- Why is this important? The chilling period enables the diverse flavors to entwine and evolve, enriching the Bliss Shine’s taste profile.
- Enjoy it cold, on ice, or mixed with soda. Garnish with an orange slice or a vanilla bean and relish every flavorful sip responsibly.
- Why is this important? The way you serve your Bliss Shine can enhance the flavor experience. Explore and find your favorite way to indulge, but always remember to savor responsibly.
Cooking tips:
- Opt for fresh orange juice and pure vanilla extract for the most vibrant and authentic flavors.
- Taste the mixture before bottling and adjust the sweetness level according to your preference, adding more sugar or a sugar substitute if needed.
- When incorporating the moonshine, do so gradually and stir gently to avoid curdling and to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Enhance the orange flavor with zest and adjust the color with food coloring to your liking.
- Allow the mixture to chill for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld and mature properly; patience here is key to achieving the best taste.
- Serve chilled over ice or mixed with soda, and experiment with garnishes like orange slices or vanilla beans to find your preferred presentation.
- Given the high alcohol content, always consume responsibly and be mindful of your intake.
- Keep the bottled mixture refrigerated to maintain its flavor and freshness, especially due to the dairy content from the creamer.
