During Prohibition, many people turned to creating their own homemade alcohol, which became known as moonshine or bathtub gin. Moonshine was typically made by fermenting corn or other grains and then distilling the alcohol to create a high-proof spirit. Bathtub gin was made by mixing raw alcohol with water and flavorings to create a poor-quality gin. These homemade alcohols were often made in secret and distributed illegally during Prohibition.
