National Moonshine Day is celebrated on the first Thursday in June, specifically June 4 this year, in the United States. This day commemorates moonshine, a once-illegal homemade liquor that has now become legitimate, evoking memories of Prohibition and the culture surrounding it. Typical customs include indulging in craft whiskeys, which are distilled by smaller producers, and watching NASCAR races, a sport that has roots in bootlegging. Participants can also engage in outdoor chores by moonlight to mimic the secretive work of historical moonshiners. The day encourages the creation of infused cocktails using moonshine, reflecting the spirit of innovation associated with this traditional drink. Overall, National Moonshine Day celebrates both the history and contemporary enjoyment of moonshine.
