Description: Available for purchase starting Thursday, July 30, The Mob Museum’s newest moonshine, Margarita Moonshine (60-proof), pays tribute to the bootleggers and tequileros who kept desert saloons pouring throughout Prohibition.

No tequila—just expertly crafted house-distilled moonshine and lime. Margarita joins the distillery’s other flavors, including The Goodfella’s Vanilla, Ginger Jake, Huckleberry Hideout and Signature. Margarita Moonshine is available on-site only. Other flavors available on-site and at limited third party retailers.

ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND
The Underground is an immersive Prohibition history exhibition featuring a speakeasy, distillery and private VIP room in the basement of The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. Artifacts from the 1920s and 1930s tell the intriguing story of the Prohibition era, which not only saw a proliferation of bootlegged booze and the meteoric growth of organized crime outfits but also had a profound, lasting impact on society, specifically making way for modern cocktail culture. A seasonal craft cocktail menu gives guests the opportunity to try contemporary takes on classic Prohibition-era cocktails. The menu and atmosphere have landed the speakeasy on several “best cocktail bars in Las Vegas,” “best speakeasies in Las Vegas,” “best date night” and “best hidden bars in Las Vegas” lists. Distillery tastings allow participants to learn about Prohibition and its impact on a variety of spirits and drinking habits while tasting a few of the Museum’s award-winning moonshines. The distilling program has received accolades, including “Best Moonshine” at the 2020 International Whiskey Competition, “Best in Class” and gold and silver medals at the 2024 American Distilling Institute’s International Spirits Competition and gold and silver medals at the 2022, 2023 and 2024 California Craft Spirits Competition. The Underground hosts regular free live music Fridays through Sundays, showcasing some of Las Vegas’ most talented jazz performers. Complimentary entrance to The Underground is granted at the secret side door to visitors who know the password, which is published daily on Instagram Stories @MobMuseum_Underground.
