Moonshine, spiked peach lemonade, iced tea, and fresh mint. Summer in a glass.
Moonshine, But Make It Jackie
Jackie Restaurant has a new seasonal cocktail built for the heat of a Washington DC summer. Part of the ongoing 250 Years of Cheer series, the August edition arrives with a distinctly American spirit: smooth moonshine paired with spiked peach lemonade, iced tea, and fresh mint.
The combination is deliberate and easy to appreciate. Moonshine brings a clean, unaged warmth. Peach lemonade and iced tea soften it into something bright and cooling, and the fresh mint lifts the whole drink into warm-weather territory. It is the kind of sip that rewards slowing down.
At one of the most talked-about restaurants in Navy Yard, the bar program consistently reflects the seasons. This cocktail is no different, and it fits comfortably alongside the broader menu at this American restaurant near Nationals Park in the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood.
What Goes Into the Glass
Smooth Moonshine
The base of the cocktail. Moonshine keeps the spirit profile clean and unobtrusive, letting the summer flavors in the rest of the build take the lead without any heavy barrel character getting in the way.
Spiked Peach Lemonade
Ripe peach and tart lemon bring the drink into familiar summer territory. The spiked component keeps it from reading as overly sweet, anchoring the fruit notes with just enough edge.
Iced Tea
A nod to a Southern classic and a natural partner for peach, iced tea adds body and a gentle tannin note that ties the cocktail together into something that genuinely tastes like an American summer afternoon.
Fresh Mint
The finishing note. Mint keeps the cocktail feeling alive and cooling on the palate, making it the detail that turns a good summer drink into a refreshingly easy sip you want to return to.
Part of the 250 Years of Cheer Series
The August moonshine cocktail is the newest addition to Jackie's 250 Years of Cheer program, a series of themed seasonal cocktails that rotate through the year. Each edition draws on American flavors and history, giving regulars a reason to return and first-time guests something worth seeking out.
Jackie Restaurant, located at 79 Potomac Ave SE in Washington DC, sits at the center of the Navy Yard dining scene. Whether you are heading to a game at Nationals Park or simply looking for a well-crafted drink on a summer evening, the bar at Jackie is worth the stop.
