1
Prepare the Peaches
Wash the peaches thoroughly under running water. Remove the pits and chop the peaches into small chunks.
2
Macerate the Peaches
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped peaches with the granulated sugar. Stir well and let it sit for at least 1 hour to allow the peaches to release their juices.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass jar or a clean, airtight container, add the macerated peaches along with the sugar and juice mixture.
4
Add Alcohol
Pour the corn whiskey over the peach mixture, ensuring all the fruit is submerged in the liquid.
5
Add Flavor Enhancers
Add the cinnamon sticks and vanilla extract to the jar. Stir gently to combine.
6
Seal and Store
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to help the flavors meld.

7
Strain the Moonshine
After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into clean bottles, discarding the solid peach pieces and spices.
8
Serve and Garnish
Serve the peach moonshine over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
