Use high-quality apple cider and juice for the best flavor. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more to taste after simmering. For a stronger cinnamon flavor, lightly crush the cinnamon sticks before adding them to the pot. Ensure the mixture is completely cool before adding the alcohol to prevent vaporizing the alcohol and altering the flavor profile. Aging the moonshine in the refrigerator for a week or more will significantly improve its smoothness and flavor complexity.
