Smith Creek Moonshine is an authentic moonshine tasting attraction with two locations in Branson, Missouri. Their flagship location is at the heart of the Branson Landing and their newest location can be found at Tanger Outlets.
Moonshine is simply made from a base of corn, sugar, yeast, and water. However, they took this traditional recipe to a whole new level by adding a special twist of different flavors, sometimes smooth, sometimes bold, but flavors that are always distinct. Flavors like Apple Pie, Salted Caramel, Butter Cake, and Sweet Tea to name a few.
At the heart of the Smith Creek Moonshine experience is the opportunity to sample all of the flavored shines at the complimentary tasting bar. Eager to share all that they know, the bartenders enthusiastically explain the story behind each flavor, and there are plenty from which to choose. The wide variety of flavors that they offer gives the guests a complete moonshine-tasting experience unlike any other, which gives them an opportunity to discover their favorite flavors before heading home with a few jars.
In addition to the complimentary tasting bar, Smith Creek Moonshine also features a restaurant, mixed moonshine cocktail bar (Branson Landing location), as well as a retail store where guests can purchase bottled moonshines, apparel, sauces, dry rubs, scented candles, and so much more. Whether you love moonshine or are just trying it out for the first time, don’t miss the chance to “Shine and Dine” at Smith Creek Moonshine.
