I’ve been enjoying Good Girl Moonshines for awhile now, but I know that some of you might be struggling a little to like it. So, I thought to help everyone out, I’d put together a Good Girl Moonshine Recipe Roundup of some of the most popular variations for “GGMS” and some tips and tricks to making this a drink that you will love.

This drink has been around for years, its often been called Haymaker’s Punch or Switchel, but Pearl and Serene from Trim Healthy Mamas coined it’s newest name, Good Girl Moonshine. It’s a wonderful all-day sipper that helps keep you hydrated and nourishes your body with it’s healthy ingredients.

This drink is a perfect substitution for sodas! It has a pleasant zing and can keep the “snack attacks” away.

Here are a few items to help make your Good Girl Moonshine:

Baobab powder – I’ve been adding a about 1/2 teaspoon for my GGMS for added Vit. C boost. I think it really adds a nice flavor too. You can get it on Amazon or at the THM website.

Ginger

Apple Cider Vinegar with the “mother”

Stevia – THM Stevia Extract or my favorite Now Better Stevia

Metal straws – not absolutely necessary, (who am I kidding, in my house they are.)

And now for some variations:

Orange Cream Soda // Nana’s Little Kitchen

Sparkling Lime Good Girl Moonshine // Oil of Joy

Make Ahead Good Girl Moonshine // A Dash of Homemade

Hot Mulled Apple Cider // Nana’s Little Kitchen

Lemonade Good Girl Moonshine // MamaShire

Raspberry Good Girl Moonshine // MamaShire

Caramel Apple Good Girl Moonshine // MamaShire

Peach Good Girl Moonshine // MamaShire

And here are a few more:

Ginger Lime Good Girl Moonshine // The Coers Family

Zingy Raspberry Good Girl Moonshine // Oh Sweet Mercy

Strawberry Limeade Good Girl Moonshine // Rashel’s Run

Hawaiian Punch Good Girl Moonshine // Searching for Hidden Treasure

And Amber shows you how to make Mama Dew and Apple Cinnamon versions in this video.

Tips and Tricks for making Good Girl Moonshine:

If you aren’t sure if you like the taste of ginger, just put a few shakes of powdered ginger in your drink and then slowly adjust it over time to get up to a teaspoon of it in your drink. Read about the health benefits of ginger here.
Use raw apple cider vinegar “with the mother” like Bragg Organic ACV. You should be able to find it in your local grocery store. Since apple cider vinegar is rather tart, start off with the smaller amount and work your way up to get used to it.
When drinking apple cider vinegar throughout the day it’s best to use straws. It helps keep the acid from the ACV off of your teeth. Our favorite straws are these metal straws or plastic straws. The metal straws come with a wire cleaner, but for the plastic straws I use this straw cleaner. ACV can actually whiten your teeth, but should be rinsed off. Read more about the health benefits of ACV here.
If you’d like your GGMS to be fizzier you can add carbonated water or sparkling water to your recipe.

Can you drink too much or is there a goal of how much GGMS?

  There is not a goal of how much to drink but it is a very tasty alternative to sodas and is very refreshing. And just listen to your body to know if you are drinking too much.

  There actually is too much. Apple cider vinegar is amazing for health benefits however when you take in too much it can actually cause issues with bone density.
