The country superstar joined forces with the iconic food and drinkware brand to release a limited-edition 40oz Quencher H2.0 FlowState™ Tumbler. The exclusive item is trending on TikTok.
“It’s the cup you see everybody carrying around. It’s the cup that keeps the cold drinks cold and the hot drinks hot. But most importantly, it’s what my papaw drank out of every day of his life,” she shared with Stanley.
Wilson’s eye-catching tumbler features a delightful pink watermelon hue that perfectly captures the essence of Lainey Wilson’s hit song. Paired with fresh green details, reminiscent of a watermelon rind, it’s a refreshing visual treat that brings summer vibes to life.

The straw opening is specifically designed to prevent splashes while securely holding the reusable straw in place. With the option to switch to the drink opening or use the full-cover top, you have versatile control over your drinking experience.
Carrying your Tumbler to a weekend picnic is a breeze, thanks to the ergonomic handle that features comfort-grip inserts. This ensures a comfortable and secure grip while transporting your drink.

In addition to releasing the exclusive Tumbler with Stanley, Lainey Wilson also shared her favorite watermelon moonshine recipe with the brand.
“It’s my uncle’s recipe that’s whipped up way back in the woods…. a family secret. But here’s a recipe that’s almost as good as my uncle’s,” Wilson said before unveiling the secret recipe.
See the recipe below.
WATERMELON MOONSHINE RECIPE
Ingredients
4 heaping cups of watermelon (about ½ a watermelon)
1 cup Everclear
½ cup fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)
1 ¼ cups sugar
1 ½ cups water
½ cup to 1 cup Watermelon Pucker
Instructions
– Combine watermelon chunks and Everclear in a glass jar with a lid.
– In a small pot, combine lime juice, sugar and water. Over medium heat, stir until sugar is fully dissolved (no need to bring to a boil). Remove from heat and let it cool down.
– Pour simple syrup into the jar.
– Allow it to sit in the refrigerator for a night or two.
– Pour the contents of the jar into a bowl and mash the watermelon with a potato masher, then strain mixture back into the jar.
– Add ½ cup of the Watermelon Pucker. Shake, taste to see if the flavor is to your liking. If it’s not sweet enough or you need a little more watermelon flavor, add in additional Watermelon Pucker.
– Store in your freezer until you’re ready for more.
Note: Always leave room in the jars. The mixture should not truly freeze up, however, err on the side of caution. Freeze overnight (or longer).
To celebrate the release of her Watermelon Moonshine Tumbler, the chart-topping hitmaker took to social media with a message for her followers.
“Get yourself some Watermelon Moonshine & pour it into this limited edition Quencher we made with @stanleybrand. It’s perfect for all your summer drinks…I am talking moonshine to water..you will love it.”
“Watermelon Moonshine” Music Video
Lainey Wilson’s limited-edition 40oz Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler coincides with the release of her “Watermelon Moonshine” music video.
The clip debuted early Tuesday morning and takes viewers on a nostalgic journey back to the bittersweet memories of adolescence and a first love.
Directed by Stephen and Alexa Kinigopoulos, the video flawlessly captures the essence of young love and beautifully portrays the raw emotions and innocent vulnerability that come with it.
The clip follows Rachel Lynn Matthews’ character as she reminisces about her past and the boy who stole her heart, played by Sam Sherrod. Throughout the video, Lainey Wilson’s soulful voice narrates the story, her lyrics echoing the emotions felt by the characters on screen.
The “Watermelon Moonshine” music video is a beautiful tribute to the rollercoaster ride of teenage love.
“I’m so excited to premiere the ‘Watermelon Moonshine’ music video. This song is about the young, wild, crazy love that we all hope to experience,” Wilson shared in a statement. “From locking eyes for the first time, to playing spin the bottle with an Ole Smoky mason jar, to being too crazy about each other to tame it, I am so happy with how Rachel Lynn Matthews and Sam Sherrod brought the vision to life through their portrayal of their innocently passionate characters.”
