Moonshine made from sugar: 9 recipes at home

Most often, beet sugar is used for the production of alcoholic beverages, less often cane sugar and molasses, because of their high cost. Some craftsmen run moonshine on refined sugar and even on an inverted component (syrup based on sugar, water and citric acid). There are also recipes for making moonshine based on sugar substitutes such as honey, fructose, and glucose.
