Heart River Apple Moonshine is an all-natural, apple-flavored moonshine from Big Dog Distillery in Bismarck, North Dakota, bottled at 50 proof (25% ABV) in a classic mason jar.
Big Dog Distillery was founded in 2020 by Scott and Connie Beierle and is home to Heart River Spirits, a line of handcrafted rum and moonshine made without added sugars, artificial colors or flavors. The distillery sits in a small strip mall on South 3rd Street in downtown Bismarck, with a tiki bar and tours.
The moonshine is made from a corn mash and finished with apple for an easygoing, fruity sip. Because the products are all natural, they are best shaken before serving.
In its mason jar, it is a fun, rustic gift.
Moonshine is traditionally an unaged corn whiskey, a style with deep roots in rural American history.
Fruit moonshines, like apple pie moonshine, are a classic Appalachian tradition, often served as a sipping drink.
At 50 proof, it is gentle and sweet, easy to sip chilled.
Apple moonshine makes a great base for a hot toddy or a fall cocktail with cinnamon and cider.
The mason jar, a symbol of moonshine's homemade heritage, doubles as a keepsake.
Keep it in the refrigerator for a cold, refreshing pour.
Mix it with sparkling water and a cinnamon stick for an easy autumn highball.
Corn mash gives moonshine a soft, sweet base that carries fruit flavors well.
Pour it over vanilla ice cream for a simple grown-up dessert.
A splash in hot apple cider with a squeeze of lemon makes a warming winter drink.
