Where I went to college, moonshine is a big thing and is relatively easy to get once you know some locals. I've tried it multiple times and it was always absolutely vile. It would usually come in a reused plastic milk jug. There was nothing you could mix it with and not taste the horrible flavor. I had a friend who made his own stovetop still and despite it probably being slightly poisoned with methanol, it actually kind of tasted like a corn whiskey. I don't know how he was able to make something palatable but every backwoods moonshine maker in the area couldn't manage to make something that didn't taste like gasoline. Whenever I was going to a party where I knew there would be plenty of moonshine, I'd just bring my own legal liquor.
