So I've been doing a lot of researching on moonshine and know how to make moonshine because it's been in my family since the early 1900's but the only thing I am lost on is a catchy name if I do decide to take my family's recipe to the next level I would need a catchy name. You guys have any ideas?

      You do know moonshine is sold commercially right?

        Yes, as long as they possess a commercial distiller's permit or a fuel alcohol permit, they can sell it.

          And from what I understand, the permits can cost several hundred thousand dollars. Equipment costs are also very high. There's significant barriers to entry.

    Add glitter to it and call it Shiner's Shiny Moonshine.

    Well, maybe not. How about Prisoner #3938375's Big House Moonshine?

    No? Fixer's Elixir? Hmm... maybe I'm just not good at this.

      Jody, I think he was looking for something a bit snappier.

    Your thoughts on the matter without knowledge of the target market is blind decision making.

    Is moonshine being sold in the area?
    What are the brand names?
    Which ones are the highest selling and why?
    Do the names contain slang only the local population will understand?
    Is history and tradition important in a moonshine name?
    Do I have a good lawyer?

    Questions, I am learning, are your best friends.

    The triangle of marketing is the product, the message, and the audience. The audience being the most important of the three, for it can help determine the other two. Not mentioned is the "you" the marketer. Some say the "you" is unimportant, but from observation the "you" is hidden within the message.

        As long it's about something that kicks, so yeah. A tribute to bootlegging, right? Whenever I think of moonshine, can't help find Dukes of Hazzard reference.

    Let's see.....moonshine was really popular back in the prohibition era.

    What can I think of right off the top of my head?

    -Roaring 20's

    -Al Capone's Chicago Reserve

    -The Untouchable Moonshine (this is a play off the 1950's TV series The Untouchables)

    If I come up with more, I'll post them.
