Just came across this story and gotta say it brought a smile to my lips when you mentioned deep in the rain forest...sounded like some
adventurer from books I used to read as a kid
But kudos for you for bartering a trade like this. What the heck is guanabana coconut pistachio moonshine ? Sound delicious from the sounds of it and would probably knock me out for sure. Would the alcohol level be closer to 1005 proof as a moonshine though? Is it distilled like they do with potato moonshine? Bottoms up mate!

Thanks! I barter daily as a way of life. I enjoy it.
Guanabana is a large fruit that grows locally. My tree produces basketball size fruit once a year. The rest of the year it produces smaller fruit. I'd guess because we get more rain during that time. It has a white flesh that is very sweet and reminds me of cotton candy or something simular. High in fiber.
Officially moonshine has to be 40% and can be as high as 90%. This one was about 50% Alc and to get the proof you just double the % ...so it would be 100 proof. I prefer 40-50% because it just taste better. I'm out here trying to enjoy myself, not kill myself and taste buds lol
. The difference in volume needed to feel the effect is very minimal when comparing 40% to 90%. I go for the better taste. Also, the term moonshine can mean different things in different areas. Any alcoholic spirit (40%+) that is made without paying tax is my definition of a moonshine. So all that moonshine you see in the grocery store with a tax stamp, isn't real moonshine.
