Moonshine Margarita

Adios tequila, hello moonshine!

I just made a margarita with the freshest ingredients and zero tequila. Can a home have a signature summer drink? Last year we loved Moscow Mules; this year I think it's going to be Moonshine Margaritas!

After touring the "Troy & Sons" distillery in Asheville, we were instant fans of their small batch white whiskey, or what southerns refer to as moonshine.

Read their story, and you'll want to taste their smooth (and legal) libations too : http://www.troyandsons.com/truth.php
