Once considered the rebel spirit of the Prohibition era, moonshine has come a long way from its rustic roots. At King Island Distillery Bass Strait, Martha’s Moonshine reimagines this once illicit drop with premium craftsmanship. Distilled from King Island’s pure rainwater and local grain, it’s smooth, refined, and ready to take centre stage in modern mixology.
While many think of moonshine as a simple sipper, its versatility makes it an exciting base for cocktails. With a clean, full-bodied flavour and gentle warmth, Martha’s Moonshine pairs beautifully with citrus, herbs, and even seasonal fruits. Here are a few inspired ways to bring it into your next gathering.
The Moonlight Mule
A fresh twist on the classic Moscow Mule. Combine 45ml Martha’s Moonshine with ginger beer, a squeeze of lime, and a sprig of mint over ice. The result? Crisp, spicy, and perfectly balanced — a refreshing serve for warmer days.
Apple Orchard Smash
Mix 50ml Martha’s Moonshine with cloudy apple juice, a touch of honey, and a dash of lemon. Shake with ice and garnish with fresh thyme or cinnamon. It’s autumn in a glass — smooth, fragrant, and comforting.
Moonshine & Tonic
A simple, elevated serve that lets the spirit shine. Pour 45ml over ice, top with premium tonic, and garnish with lemon peel or rosemary. Light, clean, and ideal for easy entertaining.
Martha’s Moonshine is bold, daring and unexpected. Whether shaken, stirred, or served simply over ice, it brings warmth, authenticity, and a touch of Tasmanian character to any cocktail.
