I’m confused by the name of the recipe and ingredients. So it doesn’t include any huckleberries but is called Huckleberry Hooch? Why not Blueberry Hooch? Was looking for a recipe to use with my huckleberries so might try this but I’m not sure that it will be as sweet as blueberry. Also, ingredients say “6 fresh blueberries” but the picture of the drink looks like there are much more than 6 berries used.
Thank you for your feedback let me know how it works for you!
What makes it “huckleberry”? There are no huckleberries listed in the recipe.
