Here are a few recipes for our spirits, while I prefer my whiskeys neat, many of you like to drink your whiskey mixed with something.
Society has a never ending array of ways to create new taste experiences with spirits of all kinds and then pair them with foods from all over the world.
I will begin this with a few simple recipes for our Dragon Moon Shine, since it seems to be the one I get asked the most about what or how to use / drink it.
Dragon Moon Shine comes bottled at 80 proof / 40% Alc. by Vol. is actually good enough and smooth enough to use as a white sipping whiskey, Or 100 proof / 50% Alc. by Vol. a little warmer, a little cleaner, but still smooth enough and tasty enough to sip, but if that’s not your thing, then here are a few suggestions on what to do with it, feel free to let us know what your favorite way to drink our Dragon Moon Shine is.

Orange Moon
- 2 oz Dragon Moon Shine
- 1 oz orange liqueur
- 1 oz ginger liqueur
- 1 dash orange bitters
Moonjito
- 2 oz Dragon Moon Shine
- 10 fresh mint leaves muddled
- 2 lime wedges (or a splash of lime juice)
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- club soda or sparkling water
First, muddle the mint. Place it in the bottom of a cocktail shaker and use a cocktail muddler to press it until it becomes aromatic. When you’re muddling the mint, your goal isn’t to pulverize it or crush it. Instead, just bruise it slightly to help it release its fragrant oils. This should only take a few taps with your muddler!
Second, shake! Add the Dragon Moon Shine, lime slices or juice, sugar, and a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker, and shake it vigorously until the ingredients are completely combined and chilled.
Then, strain your mojito. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker over a glass filled with ice. Top your glass with soda water, and garnish it with lime slices and more fresh mint sprigs. Finally, taste and adjust.
