Even in the summer, there are cool, wet days that make you think you've traveled through a stone circle back to historic Scotland. The perfect way to combat the dreary weather is with this dreamy orange creamsicle moonshine that you can bottle up and tuck away in your fridge for when you need to make your own bit of sunshine.

This DIY dreamsicle moonshine recipe also makes for a great gift. It's one of those things that gets better the longer it sits, as long as you keep it cold. Grab a bottle to bring as a hostess gift or to surprise a friend who needs cheering up. It's easy to make, though one of the ingredients may surprise you.

This orange creamsicle moonshine earns the creamy label with one simple ingredient: powdered french vanilla coffee creamer. It's worth it to use the better stuff, because the taste really comes through. All you have to do is dissolve the creamer into a big pot of orange juice and sugar. Let it come to room temperature, then add in the moonshine or Everclear, vanilla extract and vanilla vodka, and you've got a dreamsicle treat.

Divide the liquid between mason jars or other cool bottles and refrigerate. You want to let it sit for at least two weeks (no matter how the temptation is to drink it), shaking the jars every other day or so.
