Moonshine tends to scare off certain folk, but I assure you, when used in cocktails, it is quite delectable. Reunion Moonshine 100 Proof has beautiful clean vegetal flavours, similar to those found in Cachaça, a unique spirit produced in Brazil. The national cocktail of Brazil is named the Caipirinha, a simple cocktail made of Cachaça, limes, and sugar. We’ve taken that influence and elevated it with a hefty dose of Sweet Reaper Bitters. This beautiful bitters, unique to Top Shelf, is a blend of exotic fruit flavours with the spicy kick of Carolina reaper peppers. Ginger beer adds a nice peppery profile to this creation making it a spicy citrus delight with just the right amount of complexity to keep your curious taste buds occupied.
