b. Slowly pour in the grain alcohol (or high-proof vodka), stirring continuously to combine.

5. Aging:
a. Store your Orange Creamsicle Moonshine in a cool, dark place for at least a few days to allow the flavors to meld and mellow.
6. Serving:
a. Once it’s aged to your liking, serve your moonshine over ice or in small, chilled glasses.
Notes:
- Be cautious when handling high-proof alcohol. Ensure proper ventilation while mixing.
- Remember to consume moonshine responsibly and in moderation, as it can be very potent.
