A Hot Blackberry Pie Cocktail made with a little Fireball whiskey really hits the spot!
A great way to enjoy fresh blackberries is in a blackberry pie.
But if you’re craving some of that yummy goodness and don’t have time to commit to baking a fresh pie, you can always whip up one of these yummy cocktails.
It’s the next best thing!
Fireball Whiskey makes this drink delicious!
Using Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, it really brings some yummy heat to the drink.
If you haven’t had Fireball before, imagine your traditional warmth of whisky with a touch of caramel flavor.
Fireball is lightly sweetened, so between the sweetness and the cinnamon, it’s kind of like an apple pie whisky.
So when you add fresh blackberries to the mix, it’s truly delightful.
It’s like the combination was made for each other in this fireball whisky recipe.
If you have some fresh blackberries left over, be sure to try our blackberry and peach vodka cocktail too.
It’s really tasty.
How to make a Hot Blackberry Pie Cocktail
Hot Blackberry Pie cocktail ingredients:
Making a hot blackberry pie cocktail is a piece of cake!
You need Fireball whisky, fresh blackberries and a lemon.
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 4 oz Fireball Whisky (½ cup
- Juice of 1 lemon
Let’s make a drink!
First, wash your fresh blackberries, and gently mash them into a juice using a muddling stick.
Juice your lemon.
Add in the lemon juice, and continue mashing and stirring.
Strain well, using a fine mesh strainer, making sure there are no seeds or pulp.
You should have about ¼ cup of juice total.
Divide the juice among 2 glasses, and add in ¼ cup Fireball Whisky to each.
Top with ice and garnish if desired and serve immediately.
Make it a mocktail
We like to offer up a way to enjoy the drinks here on Champagne and Coconuts as mocktails as often as we can.
With this recipe, if you simply leave out the Fireball, you’re really left with the starter ingredients for blackberry lemonade.
And blackberry lemonade is delicious.
But you’ll need to add a bit of sweetener to it to give it some kick.
So if you want to make the hot blackberry pie mocktail, we suggest that you modify it like this:
Leave out the Fireball whisky, add 4 ounces of water.
Then if you want, you can add a half teaspoon of cinnamon sugar to give it a bit more sweetness with a hint of cinnamon.
Serve the hot blackberry pie cocktail as a hot toddy
Now, the first thing to think about here is that heat in the hot blackberry pie cocktail recipe is coming from the Fireball.
So it has heat in a spicy sense rather than temperature.
This particular recipe is made served over ice, but you can serve it like a hot toddy.
If you do that, be sure to warm your lemon juice and blackberries first, and remove the mixture from the heat.
And then stir in the Fireball so you don’t cook off any of the alcohol.
When serving the drink as a hot toddy, I like to add a cinnamon stick to the mug.
It really brings out the flavor.

Hi, I’m Jennifer. I love to cook and entertain. I have a lot of fun sharing traditional food and drink recipes as well as putting a new spin on the classics. I strive to provide easy to make recipes that are perfect for the home cook, bartender and entertainer.
We got some fresh blackberries from the farmer’s market earlier this week, and I made some more of these drinks. They really do taste like fresh blackberry pie. This time, I added a dollop of whipped cream on top to serve the drink a la mode.
It really does taste like blackberry pie! With some heat too!
