If you’re using the bright pink forced variety found early on in the year it won’t just add flavour to the spirit; it’ll turn it a beautiful bright pink too.

A mix of Kahlua, banana liqueur, milk, and pineapple juice with cherries on top creates a remarkable drink that’ll remind you of sunsets at the beach. It’s particularly delicious when mixed into apple or cider cocktails, and chocolate or creamy dessert cocktails.While normal bread yeast would also start the fermentation process, it would stop converting sugar into alcohol somewhere between 5-7% ABV.

The start of the year is always a time full of contradictions, from New Year’s resolutions to reminiscing about the recently departed festive season; from embracing the long winter nights to keenly anticipating the start of summer. These winey, luscious little fruits shouldn’t be eaten raw, but when cooked or infused they release their wonderful flavour into all manner of things. Substitute an aged dark rum for a more complex flavor or coconut rum for a different take on the classic.

After Ugandan independence in 1962, the government of Uganda passed the Enguli Act of 1965, which was designed to encourage local producers of enguli to supply their produce to the distillery factory, in addition to stipulating that moonshining could only be done with government-issued licenses; this was done so the gin industry in Uganda could be regulated and taxed by the government.

It’s very easy - and satisfying - to make your own bottle of this rich purple drink at home, especially if you’ve also gone the extra mile and picked the sloes yourself!

We say: Funky cachaça with rum and corn liqueur with the all-important banana flavours contributed by fresh overripe banana and banana liqueur. Next, strain the banana moonshine mash through a cheesecloth and make sure to avoid any pulp getting into the final wash. I thought this sounded horrible, as I don’t by and large like banana flavoured things (although conversely I do like banana bread) BUT I really loved it with ginger ale. It’s still not as sweet as most of the cocktails on this list, but its mild banana and chocolate flavors give it an extra oomph. Gins were introduced to Uganda by British soldiers who were stationed in the Uganda Protectorate, and soon became a popular drink among Ugandans.

We say: This vodka-laced cocktail is indeed tangy and golden (well light orange) with a pleasing banana chew flavour. Banana moonshine is a popular drink throughout the tropical parts of the world, especially in East Africa.
