Lillie's Q Weekday Drink Specials
Starting on Labor Day, Lillie's Q will begin drink specials tied to different weekdays. They are:

* Moonshine Mondays: $3 shots of moonshine (regularly $6).

* Tuesdays: $4 pints of Lillie's Q Brew (regularly $6).

* Wednesdays: $6 M&M&M specialty moonshine cocktails (regularly $10). The M&M&M is a riff on a mint julep made with moonshine, Maker's Mark, and mint-infused simple syrup that's garnished with a mint sprig.

* Thursdays: $5 Moon Eraser shots (regularly $10). The Moon Eraser is comprised of moonshine, Kahlua, club soda that's a playful spin on the Mind Eraser shot that substitutes vodka for moonshine.

Also, Lillie's Q's newest selection in its rotating small-batch moonshine is the 80-proof Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon from Piedmont Distillers in Madison, North Carolina. Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon is used in all of the Lillie's Q specialty moonshine cocktails. More can be found at http://www.piedmontdistillers.com/midnightmoon/main.php
