Instructions:

1. Begin by combining 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar with 4 cups of distilled water in a large saucepan. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Once the sugar has dissolved, add 1 cup of thawed orange juice concentrate to the saucepan, stirring continuously.

4. Gradually pour 2 cups of 190-proof grain alcohol (or your chosen high-proof vodka) into the mix, maintaining a steady stir.
5. To achieve a luxuriously creamy texture, add 1 cup of half-and-half to the mixture. Alternatively, opt for heavy cream for an even richer experience.
6. Allow the moonshine blend to cool to room temperature.
7. Once cooled, employ a funnel to carefully transfer the mixture into glass jars or bottles for optimal storage.
8. Seal the containers and store them in a cool, dark place to allow the flavors to harmonize over time.
