Drag Me to Kel

Who loves orange soda? The undead, that’s who. This drink is super easy and fun to look at, just like that illusive perfect Halloween costume you always forget to make in time.

The Witching Hour

A little spicy, a little fruity, and a whole lotta delicious, this spooky spin on a margarita will put a spell on you.

Haunted Hot Chocolate

This simple coffee hot chocolate gets a black magic touch from a bit of activated charcoal.

Bubblin' Brew

This punch is out of its gourd good! Combining the sweet spice of our Honey Habanero with apple cider and pumpkin beer, this brew is the perfect crowd pleaser for all your witchy friends. Add dry ice (carefully–don’t touch!) for a little extra magic.

She's a Live One!

Watch out–we’ve got a live one on our hands! This play on a classic Corpse Reviver #2 cocktail, this drink is equal parts creepy and classy.

Happy Halloween, ya freaks!

Belle Isle Moonshine is a premium, handcrafted spirit proudly hailing from Richmond, Virginia.

We take the name Belle Isle from a small, 540-acre island located smack dab in the middle of the James River where Civil War soldiers used surplus corn rations to make moonshine in copper kettles.

Belle Isle Moonshine is distilled from 100% organic corn, grown by three family farms and responsibly sourced. Once triple-distilled, we charcoal filter Belle Isle four times over. Then, we cut it with purified water right from the James River. Our infusions are made with 100% real ingredients, never artificial flavors or color. We use real grapefruits sourced from Texas and California, local honey from the Shenandoah Valley, organic habaneros grown an hour away, and freshly roasted coffee beans from the most socially conscious roastery in Richmond, Blanchard's Coffee Roasting Co.

From there, each bottle of Belle Isle Moonshine is filled, corked, labeled, and packed by hand by our Production team, who check each bottle and batch for quality assurance. Since Belle Isle is made in small batches, you can find the batch number handwritten in the bottom right corner of each bottle.

Distilled from good times and 100% organic corn.

Four Cocktails to Cozy Up with this Fall

It may still be dangerously close to 100˚ in many parts of the country, but that's not going to stop us from declaring it "officially fall." With September settling in, it's time to swap those light, citrusy drinks for deeper,  more warming fare. And yes, you need to have at least one Pumpkin Spiced beverage ASAP. From our take on an autumn-influenced mule to the iconic (and totally non-basic) boozy PSL, get ready to grab a jacket and settle in for fall with these four festive cocktails. 

Heir Ap-pear-ent

A citrusy sparkler with some depth, this cocktail is sophisticated and tasty enough to last you though next February.

Ultimate PSL

Booze + Coffee + Pumpkin Spice = Fall Lover’s Paradise

Cran-Sage Mule

A Moonshine Mule may be our favorite cocktail in any season, but the addition of cranberry and sage leaf here make this drink an instant hygge-inducer.

Spicy Spiked Cider

Served hot or cold, this spicy little number will help you combat that chill in the air.

What comes to mind when you think of Labor Day? Saying one final "goodbye" to Summer? Cookouts & fireworks? Purging all the white pants from your closet? Sweating profusely?

These simple, tasty beverages can travel wherever your Labor Day plans take you. From Micheladas to 'Shine and Sodas, these no-labor sippers will help you say goodbye to summer in style.

Ruby Radler

You down with RRG? This citrusy summer quencher is for only the truest Ruby Red grapefruit fans among us.

Spicy Michelada

It’s like the Bloody Mary’s bubbly, beer-soaked step-cousin.

'Shine and Soda

We challenge you to find a simpler, more delicious drink.

CBC Boilermaker

Okay, so this is a two-for-one. For those playing it safe, choose a porter or stout with your Cold Brew Coffee. Adventurous drinkers should try a shot in light sour beer, like a gose or Berliner Weisse. I know it sounds crazy, but we wouldn’t steer you wrong!

Stirred, Shaken, and 'Shiny: Our 5 Favorite Martinis

Belle Isle 100 Proof makes the king of all martinis. Photo by Joey Wharton.

The martini: shockingly simple, yet surprisingly versatile. While it's usually comprised of only one or two ingredients, one small tweak of proportions, switch of garnishes, or swap of spirit can change the drink completely. Traditional martinis are made with either vodka or gin, but we here at Belle Isle think that our moonshine makes the perfect iteration of the classic cocktail. We've known (and loved) lot of great Belle Isle martinis over the years, but here's are some of our favorites. Happy National Martini Day! 

Black Label Martini

Simple. ‘Shiny. Classic.

M19

A hint of single-malt scotch gives this twist on the classic a smoky spin.

Hillbilly Martini

This down-home take on a dirty martini swaps pickling brine for olive juice.

El Martini

This tequila-based martini gets a hint of spice from our Honey Habanero.

Belle Isle Banshee

Pretty close to a classic martini, but it gets a little extra “oomph” from Becherovka, an herbal Czech liqueur.

Curated Wedding cocktails with Roberts and Co. Events // Part 1

Want the bar at your wedding to offer something more interesting than light beer and watered-down rum and cokes? Your cocktail menu should make you feel as special as everything else on your wedding day, and Bryce Carson from Roberts and Co. Events is here to show you how to make that happen! With some help from the Good Times Experts here at Belle Isle Moonshine, you and your significant other can choose personalized cocktails that really say something about yourselves and your love. 

Cocktails make the heart grow fonder. All photos by Alyse Michelle Images.

In the seven years since I started planning weddings, they have become more lavish, more expensive, and more competitive. As couples jump into the planning process, they look to Pinterest, magazines, and past weddings they have been to for inspiration. This is where, as a wedding planner and designer, I step in and say, "stop"! I love these sources for inspiration, but if my couples cannot tell me how we can relate this to their personal story, then maybe we shouldn't do it.

Belle Isle's cocktail curators, Erica and Von.

I believe in creating and designing a personalized experience for my clients. Your groom is from Western Pennsylvania? Awesome! Have a cookie table. Your bride spent her childhood in Scotland? Work some thistle into her bouquet. Weddings are about telling the story of your past and giving a hint to your future.

I am so happy I have been able to partner with Belle Isle Moonshine on creating one of a kind experiences for my clients. So often the bar menu at a wedding is overlooked. In the final months of planning, clients will run to the liquor store to buy a mix of spirits and hope they have enough. Well, now Belle Isle Moonshine is offering a program that lets clients personalize their bar menu with the same level of detail that went into designing their wedding cake and floral arrangements. 

Belle Isle Moonshine partners with wedding planners to bring in their clients for a private cocktail tasting. I brought in Adrian and Brian for a tasting for their upcoming Spring 2018 wedding. Erica and Von created six craft cocktails based on a survey of my clients' preferences, wedding theme, and unique requests (beer cocktails). The results were nothing short of perfection, and luckily the talented Alyse Michelle Images was there to capture the experience. 

One of the big winners, the Pipeline Painkiller.

Adrian and Brian are fun, quirky, and looking to throw a wedding to be remembered. With funky centerpieces containing citrus fruits and a family-style BBQ and taco bar, they are looking to seamlessly blend their signature style across their entire wedding day. Adrian fell in love with the Pipeline Painkiller, a mix of Belle Isle Cold Brew Coffee, pineapple, and citrus. This drink packs enough punch to liven up the dance floor, but also look stunning on her tables. Brian's choice, the Belle's Eye, will be the perfect compliment to the tacos and BBQ, mixing Belle Isle Black Label, Coors Light and ginger beer. 

The tasting process is so fun and easy. Adrian and Brian were able to start off by tasting each moonshine on its own and then moved to their six signature cocktail choices. Von showed us exactly how to present each cocktail, from the proper glassware to the perfect garnish. Erica provided us with a cocktail calculator to make the trip to grocery and liquor stores a breeze after getting final guest counts. 

Decisions, decisions

The Belle's Eye

Cheers to a job well done!

With their signature cocktails selected, Adrian and Brian were able to check one more task off their wedding to-do list. Not only did they leave feeling accomplished, but they know they are going to have something their guests have never experienced before.

Stay tuned for Part ii in May to see it all come together, with another cocktail surprise for the couple's guests!

Erica's Easter Brunch Mimosa Bar

Wanna host a killer brunch but not get stuck playing bartender all day? Celebrate Easter (or anything, really) with a tasty homemade meal and a Belle Isle Mimosa Bar! We called on our good friend and hostess with the mostest Erica Key, of the award-winning blog Eating with Erica, to show us how it's done!

Don't forget to reward yourself with a mimosa, you party ninja!

Can you believe Easter is less than two weeks away? The year is flying by, and I am over the moon to welcome Spring. If you are hosting Easter this year (or any spring gathering for that matter) and are looking for an eye-catching cocktail to keep your guests entertained with minimal work, this Belle Isle Mimosa Bar is for you. I absolutely LOVE mimosa bars. They are so simple to create, they are so tasty, and they leave your guests self-sufficient. Which means you can keep hosting without making cocktails every five minutes.

This year, my mimosas are stronger since I will be dealing with my family.  We're taking it to the next level with a shot of Belle Isle Black Label! To create the ultimate Belle Isle Mimosa, I added orange juice, champagne, and a shot of Belle Isle Black Label served in a Champagne flute with a strawberry. 

Belle Isle + Cute Bunnies = WIN

When creating your mimosa bar, location is key. I chose a spot for my bar that wasn't in the way of where I was cooking and wouldn't make anyone else feel like they were in the way either. I set up about 8-10 glasses and added adorable bunny straws (purchased at the Dollar Store). I then purchased carafes for the juice. Typically orange is the standard for mimosas, but it's always okay to think outside the box. I wanted to give my guests some options, so I used pineapple juice and cranberry juice in addition to the orange juice.  You can also use raspberry lemonade or pomegranate juice. 

Pro tip #1: Don't forget to pour one for yourself.

I made sure to provide a Belle Isle ice bucket, since I wanted to make sure the champagne and Belle Isle Black Label were chilled at all times. I then purchased clear containers to place the fruit in. I used wine glasses, but you can also use clear glass bowls. I am a fanatic for berries, so the more berries the better. Berries are awesome garnishes, and who doesn't love a pretty mimosa?  I used strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.  You can get really creative with garnishes! Other garnishes that would be great here are mint, different sugar rims, and oranges. To give my mimosa bar the full pizazz, I added Easter decor: egg baskets with eggs, egg-shaped candies, really cute napkins, and the bunny straws. 

No matter what your plans are this Easter make sure you have fun, enjoy your loved ones, and have a mimosa.

Cheers, friends!
