Cut your own sugarcane stalks and make your own sugarcane juice Nov. 22-23 at Sugar Sand Distillery’s first Raisin’ Cane Festival from 11AM-6PM each day.
Harvest your own sugarcane stalks on-site. Staff will squeeze the juice from your stalks, and you can take home your very own sugarcane juice. Sugarcane juice is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium and other electrolytes so it’s great for dehydration. It helps cure the common cold and other infections and also fight fever as it boosts the body’s protein levels. It is great in tea, as syrup, or age it and make sugarcane vinegar.
Squeeze as much or as little as you like. Just $1/stalk. One stalk makes 1/5 gallon. Be sure to bring your own jar or jug to put the juice in. While here, enjoy complimentary tastings of our products. On Saturday, Nov. 23, there will also be a food truck on site starting at 5PM and live music.
Sugar Sand Distillery is Florida’s only estate-grown sugarcane distillery making their own rum, vodka, whiskey, moonshine and limoncello. Nestled in the middle of a 10-acre sugarcane farm, Sugar Sand Distillery is a true farm-to-bottle operation. Born of a desire to incorporate the love of farming with the love of producing handcrafted, small-batch spirits. Located in Lake Placid, FL (just south of Sebring), the distillery is open to visitors Wednesday-Sunday with tours available on Saturdays. Kids are welcome; must be 21 to sample or purchase product.
