    You're describing a multi-step process; both brewing then distilling.

    Distilling is illegal and potentially dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

    Stick with brewing. You have fermented alcohol already, just siphon it off and store it. It should be plenty alcoholic by now (though probably harsh tasting). If you tried to distill what you have now, you might end up with a cup of finished, iffy product. Not very economical.

    What you are trying to make is jailhouse hooch, and is not moonshine by any stretch of the imagination. You can mix it with fruit juice (usually the juice is added when all the ingredients are initially mixed together, prior to fermentation). In any event, your concoction will produce alcohol, but it will taste pretty vile.
