What is Blackberry Whiskey?

You can buy Crown Royal Blackberry in a can or a glass bottle. This Crown Royal whiskey uses blackberries to flavor it, so you get a tart, fruity whiskey. If you buy it by the can, carbonation makes it into a fizzy drink!

Crown Royal Blackberry Whiskey – You can buy a bottle or a can for this drink recipe.

Fresh Lemon and Blackberry – This is optional but great for garnishing the glasses! 

How to Make Blackberry Whiskey Lemonade Cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Add whisky and lemonade. Stir gently.

Pour into a glass. Garnish with a slice of lemon and blackberry.

Substitutes And Variations 

• Swap the lemonade with a limeade for a lime-flavored cocktail. Then garnish with lime instead of lemon. 
• Sweeten the drink with some simple syrup to your liking. 
• You can use a different brand of whiskey if you prefer. I am not sure you will find blackberry whiskey in a different brand. But you can add some blackberry juice or syrup to get blackberry flavor. 
• Muddle fresh blackberries at the bottom of the glass to add blackberry flavor to the mixed drink. 
• You could also muddle fresh mint leaves for a minty twist to the drink. 

Tips For Success 

• I recommend starting with chilled ingredients. That way, the cocktail stays colder longer, and the ice will not melt as fast. 
• Fresh berries will add a bright color to the drink and make it tasty to snack on. 
• I recommend making this drink as you serve it to get the best flavor. 
• You can make this into a slush by adding ice to a blender. You can add some simple syrup to help the ice become slushy and not clump up.
