Level up your gatherings, by adding a little magic, a dash of glitter and a whole lot of fun by turning them into a
Glitter & MoonshineTM Events
During the national lockdown of 2020, liquor stores in South Africa started gathering dust for the first time; no feet through the aisles, no bottles being picked up to take home… nothing. If you concentrated hard enough it wasn’t impossible to imagine a tumbleweed blowing in the wind in front of all the closed liquor store doors.
In the wake of the alcohol ban devastation, the Prohibition and Bitchin’ Spirits range was born. What started as an idea, just a spark – small batch liquor production for friends and family – is now a thriving business and we’re proud to present Glitter & MoonshineTM tastings.
How Does It Work?
It’s simple really! Light the beacons to summon your most dutiful and like-minded friends. A dazzling evening full of unbelievable tales and mysteries, handsome heroes and magical creatures await you.
Give us a holla to book your tasting afternoon or evening. Yes, we can do breakfast too.
Send out the invitations for your magically forbidden fun tasting event.
Our Bitchin’ Team will arrive prior to your event to set up the tasting table. The table is set up for each person individually and we provide the tasting glass, alcohol and mixers. Set up takes +/- 30 minutes.
Ensure there is enough snacks and water. Participants tend to get very merry.
Ensure you have 2 hours available for the half-tasting and 3 hours for the full-tasting process (excluding setup).
Welcome your guests and relax into an afternoon or evening of magical fun.

This range was created in rebellion to the 2020 liquor ban. While some were focusing on Pineapple Beer, we were perfecting our secret moonshine recipes.
