Corn liquor is a type of distilled spirit that is typically made from fermented corn. It is also commonly known as moonshine or white lightning. However, there are many other synonyms for this potent beverage, including hooch, white whiskey, mountain dew, hillbilly pop, and corn whiskey. Each term originates from a different region of the United States and is often associated with particular subcultures or historical periods. While corn liquor was once made illegally and sold on the black market, it is now produced and sold legally by many small-scale distilleries. Despite its popular and often unique names, corn liquor remains a beloved and iconic staple of American spirits culture.
