Midnight Moon, the small-batch moonshine brand handcrafted at North Carolina’s first legal distillery, today announces the expansion of their award-winning canned cocktail line with a new Peach Tea flavor. Following the success of the brand’s Lightning Lemonade and Watermelon releases, the makers of the official moonshine canned cocktail of summer also celebrate multiple awards wins and expanded distribution.
Midnight Moon canned cocktails are based on the brand’s award-winning, legendary moonshine recipe and blended with natural mixers, delivering a refreshing, not too sweet experience. With an 8% ABV kick, the new Peach Tea flavor was recently described as having “big peach aromas and lovely peach flavor balanced with big, rich tea and lemon flavor” at Fred Minnick’s highly-respected ASCOT Awards, where it was awarded Gold. Peach Tea also won Triple Gold at the 2022 MicroLiquor Spirit Awards and took home Gold honors at the SF World Spirits Competition.
Not to be outshone, Midnight Moon’s Watermelon and Lightning Lemonade Canned Cocktails also earned Triple Golds at the 2022 MicroLiquor Spirit Awards for both Taste and Packaging and Gold accolades from the ASCOT Awards. In addition, Watermelon Canned Cocktails received Gold ratings at both the SF World Spirits Competition and the Beverage Testing Institute Awards.
Due to demand, distribution for both Watermelon and Lightning Lemonade Canned Cocktails has recently expanded to include over twenty-five states (Peach Tea will initially be available in AK, CA, CT, MD, MA, MN MS, MT, NY, NC, SC, TN, WI, WV, and WY). Fans wanting to “get their shine on” this summer can search for their nearest local retailer or order online.
