Moonlight-distilled gin, beer mooncakes and other moon-themed drinks

Whisky and mooncakes may seem like a strange combination, but it worked surprisingly well.

Today is the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise known as the Mooncake Festival. And since the moon is a prominent feature during this festival, I decided to have a little bit of fun with moon-related drinks and events this week.

When I was researching ‘moon’ and ‘alcohol’, one word came up constantly – moonshine.
