Blackberry Moonshine Cocktail Recipe
Toast to the summer with this Blackberry Moonshine Cocktail recipe, with a sweet and spicy kick. This is what you get when you mix a little bit of the South with a little bit of beach vibes. Enjoy this along with my summer entertaining ideas and you’ll be all set for happy hour or theme parties.
As a Southern-bred gal I’m quite familiar with the iconic spirit, moonshine. Practically everyone I know has a story about it. However, this is not your wayward uncle’s moonshine! But it IS the perfect summer cocktail for you!
Flavor Highlights
This blackberry moonshine cocktail is a fusion of southern and tropical flavors, incorporating the Blockader’s Blackberry Moonshine. This drink gets its sweetness from pineapple juice plus a little kick of heat from a dash (or 2) of cayenne pepper. It’s a great balance of flavors with a slight fizz from club soda.
Serve this drink at a Southern style dinner party or include it in your tropical themed party ideas. The flavors make it so versatile. I would even say that the color and leaf garnish would make this a great drink for this peach botanical garden party.
Ingredient Notes
- This recipe uses blackberry flavored moonshine from the line of Sugarlands Distilling Company in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It’s infused with flavors like Root Beer, Old Fashioned Lemonade, Blueberry Muffin, and even Maple Bacon! There’s something for everyone, and I’m eager to try more varieties.
- The moonshine comes in classic Mason jars with a twist-on lid with pouring spout for easy flow.
- One thing I must emphasize about it is how smoothly it goes down. It’s such a nice spirit on it’s own, you can easily serve it on the rocks all by itself for a refreshing happy hour sip.
- Use 100% pineapple juice that you can buy in small cans (comes in a package of six 6-ounce cans). They’re great to have in the pantry and use them when you need them.
Garnish Ideas
Garnish your cocktail with fruit that highlights the ingredients inside. Put pineapple “sticks” and fresh blackberries on a skewer for a pretty and delicious treat. Use the leaves from a pineapple for even more interest.

If you like this as much as I think you will, try this pomegranate hula breeze. It also has a tropical vibe. This pineapple, gin, and ginger cocktail is more of a martini style with great taste. And here’s another moonshine drink to try. It’s a salty dog strawberry moonshine cocktail.
