moonshine

General term for homemade, unaged (and therefore colorless) drinking alcohol. The term came into use during the Prohibition era in the United States when stills (homemade distilleries) throughout the southeast made liquor from corn, potatoes, sugar and other available ingredients, in direct defiance of the law, in order to meet the never-diminished demand.
Moonshine (see also "white lightning") as a term refers to the alcohol's clear, colorless potency.

Moonshine ain't nothin' but sunshine that's been cooked down a little bit, Deputy.
