We visit Old Mill District in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for craft cocktails with moonshine at the Old Forge Distillery’s cocktail bar, which might be the best bar in all of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee! They have everything from coffee moonshine cocktails to lemon moonshine cocktails.
While Ole Smoky may have paved the way for moonshine in the Smokies, Old Forge has put their own spin on it with a unique variety of moonshine flavors, as well as other spirits like gin, rum, vodka, and bourbon.
If you think moonshine doesn’t have a place in cocktails, think again! We learn how to use elderflower moonshine in place of St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, and how to use coffee moonshine in place of Mr. Black coffee liqueur. We try 7 cocktails including a coconut espresso martini and a blackberry bourbon smash with Old Forge Blended Bourbon.
The Old Forge Distillery is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, right behind the Old Mill Restaurant.
