Anyone got a special recipe they use for the recipe? I get mine from a feller who makes his from raisin mash. Fine stuff. Not like Grammys Squeezins but it has the right kick. Keeps me healthy.

People who don't consume alcoholic beverages are quite unaware of the medicinal value of said beverages.
My personal choices are Jose Cuervo Tequila, and Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. I don't drink every day, but sometimes a drink of one of these is just the thing to give me a good night's rest!

I'd guess that this is as close as one can get to experiencing "The Recipe." I tried it ... once. It's rather harsh going down!

Anyone got a special recipe they use for the recipe? I get mine from a feller who makes his from raisin mash. Fine stuff. Not like Grammys Squeezins but it has the right kick. Keeps me healthy. A basic recipe for corn whiskey is:
8.5 lbs. of crushed corn 2 lbs. of crushed malted barley* 6.5 gallons of water 1 package of yeast 1 tsp sugar (for blooming the yeast)
This is in proper proportions. Scale up as needed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Irish Poitín (poteen) - they use potato as their starch source. In addition they may include sugar, raisins & wheat in ferminting the mash. reference - your irish culture site.
For Scottish whiskey (Scotch) - they use malted barley as their starch source. reference - moonshiners club.
*malting is a partial germination of the grain to produce enzymes needed to convert the starch to sugar.

I was searching for a recipe in an old cookbook and came across two recipes for "The Recipe!" The cookbook is from the 1970's and was put out by the "Jaycee-Ettes" (local civic group) from my hometown in Iowa. One is called "Baldwin Sister's Recipe" and the other simply "The Recipe." I will post them here. I don't drink so if any of you try them you'll have to let me know if it's good.
Baldwin Sister's Recipe
1 large can concentrated lemonade 2 cups vodka 1 large can concentrated orange juice 2 cups sugar 1 cup strong tea 2 1/2 cups water
Freeze to hard slush. Serve with 7-Up poured over spoonful (or number of spoonfuls desired). This mixture can be kept in the freezer for quite awhile and a spoonful taken from the container when desired.

These look like cocktails made using The Recipe, not the actual Recipe. In the cocktails they ought to use real moonshine instead of vodka. or bourbon.

Bit of trivia, the Baldwin ladies even had a recipe for jam or preserves that were intoxicating. They won a ribbon for it at the county fair. Dr. Vance and 2 others were the judges. They finished the jars. Doc Vance said something like, "Is this what I think it is, it's positively intoxicating". And that episode of The Andy Griffith Show where there were 2 little old ladies making moonshine (and Andy had to have Barney bust up their still). They started making intoxicating jam as well. Because they gave some to Barney and he got tipsy. Earl Hamner didn't write that episode did he?

I just checked the IMDB, and it was not written by Earl Hamner. I don’t think he wrote any episodes of TAGS. But I do wonder if that’s where he got the idea for the Baldwin ladies to add some of their Papa’s recipe to their preserves.

Or could the Andy Griffith Show have got the idea for the Morrison sisters from the book or movie Spencer's Mountain? Both mention something similar. When my late brother, his daughter and I went to Schyuler VA a few years back, the old gentlemen who ran the museum said there were 2 old women who made moonshine in their area, but they were mother and daughter. And much more rural/mountain folk. Not 2 dainty old ladies like the Baldwin sisters or the Morrison sisters.

I watched The Reunion this afternoon in which the Baldwin sisters make a huge batch (12 dozen) bottles of the Recipe (which Cousin Homer steals to sell in Charlottesville) and the Recipe has the distinct colour of whisky. There certainly isn't the possibility of it being mistaken for water.
I'll be watching now to see how long it takes to become more vodka-like.
This is the first time I've noticed it. Have you?

I always thought all spirit was clear and got it's colour from being aged in barrels .. but the recipe went straight into bottles.
