The Best Boozy Coffee Creamer Is Appalachian Sippin’ Cream | Eater

"Based in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, this distillery produces Appalachian Sippin’ Cream, a sweet cream liqueur made with unaged whiskey (legal moonshine). Offered in playful flavors such as butter pecan, banana pudding, and "electric orange," the 40-proof liqueur adds sweetness, a velvety texture, and a faint boozy note to coffee—transforming mediocre brews into creamy, dessert-like drinks—while avoiding the heavy emulsifiers and cloying sweetness of commercial creamers. A tablespoon in a mug won’t typically cause a buzz, and the liqueur is equally suited to evenings stirred into black tea or hot cocoa or used as a substitute in desserts like bread pudding and pound cake (the distillery posts recipes). Although not officially part of the Moonshiners franchise, the producer has ties to several personalities from the show—such as Jim Tom Hedrick and Steven Ray Tickle—who have released their own legal moonshines through the company. Versatile and indulgent, it has become a household bar-cart staple for the reviewer." - Amy McCarthy
