The liquor store was out as was everywhere else.
I’m sure you are asking how this is a camping recipe?
Well, if you’re anything like us, I’m sure there are times you sit around the campfire and have a drink (or two) with friends.
So we are here to share some of our favorite mixers to mix with the NEW Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky.
This post is meant for those 21 years of age and above.
Is Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky Limited Edition?
Yes, and that matters. Like the wildly popular Crown Royal Peach Whisky before it, the Blackberry is a limited edition release. It tends to disappear from shelves fast.
We found ours at our local BJ’s club. If you see it at your liquor store or club store, grab it. Don’t wait.
Crown Royal Peach Whisky
When Crown Royal came out with the Peach Whisky, you could not find it at all here in Florida.
My son would order me a case in Kansas when I would visit and it would last me a few months.
I have a feeling that I will have the same problem with the Blackberry Whisky this year.
Since the Blackberry Whisky is a limited edition, get it while you can.
What does Blackberry Whisky Taste Like
Before you start mixing, it helps to know what you’re working with.
Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky has the signature smooth, velvety texture of Crown Royal Canadian whisky with a luscious blackberry flavor layered on top. There’s a subtle oakiness and warmth that makes it unmistakably a whisky, not a liqueur.
That said, straight or on the rocks, the aftertaste can lean slightly medicinal, similar to what some people describe as cough syrup. We did a TikTok video of our very first taste and, well, let’s just say my facial expressions told the whole story. This is why mixing is the move. The right mixer brings out the best of the blackberry and smooths out any sharp edges.
The good news? It’s a very mixable whisky. Nearly everything we tried worked, but some combinations were exceptional. If you loved Crown Royal Peach Whisky, this one is worth hunting down. It has that same fruit-forward charm but with a deeper, richer profile.
10 Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky Cocktails – Ranked and Reviewed
Here are all ten mixers we tested, starting with our absolute favorite and working our way down. Each one includes a ratio so you can mix it right the first time.
1. Crown Royal Blackberry + Huckleberry Soda
| 🏆 BEST OVERALL: Crown Royal Blackberry & Huckleberry Soda |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 2.5 parts Huckleberry soda |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 4–5 oz Huckleberry soda Ice Fresh blackberries for garnish (optional) |
| How to make it: Fill a rocks glass with ice. Pour Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky over ice, then top with Huckleberry soda. Stir gently and garnish with blackberries if desired. |
This was our hands-down favorite. The pairing of blackberry and Huckleberry creates something genuinely unique, like summer in a glass. The sweetness balances perfectly with the whisky’s warmth, and the carbonation keeps it light and refreshing. This is the one we’ll be making all season.
2. Crown Royal Blackberry + Lemonade
| 🍋 CLASSIC GO-TO: Crown Royal Blackberry & Lemonade |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 2 parts lemonade |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 4 oz lemonade Ice Lemon wedge for garnish (optional) |
| How to make it: Fill a lowball glass with ice. Pour in Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky, then top with lemonade. Stir gently. Optional: add a lemon wedge or twist to the rim. |
This is the classic, and it’s on the back of the box for good reason. The tartness of the lemonade cuts through the blackberry sweetness and the result is bright, refreshing, and easy to drink. It was my go-to with Crown Royal Peach, and it works just as well here. If you’re only trying one mixer, start here.
3. Crown Royal Blackberry + RumChata (Blackberry Cobbler Shot)
| 🥮 BEST SHOT: Blackberry Cobbler |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 1 part RumChata |
| Ingredients: 1 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 1 oz RumChata Chill both beforehand |
| How to make it: Chill both the Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky and the RumChata before mixing. Combine equal parts in a shot glass and serve immediately. |
This one surprised us. The creamy richness of RumChata pairs with the blackberry whisky in a way that genuinely tastes like Blackberry Cobbler. Chill both bottles first, it makes a difference. This is the one that gets passed around the campfire when things get festive.
4. Crown Royal Blackberry + Blackberry Ginger Ale
| 🫚 Crown Royal Blackberry & Blackberry Ginger Ale |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 2.5 parts ginger ale |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 4–5 oz Canada Dry Blackberry Ginger Ale Ice Fresh blackberries for garnish (optional) |
| How to make it: Fill a glass with ice. Pour in the whisky, top with ginger ale, and stir gently. Garnish with blackberries if desired. |
Doubling down on the blackberry flavor makes this one especially rich and fruity. The ginger ale adds a subtle zing that keeps it from being too sweet. Canada Dry’s Blackberry Ginger Ale is easy to find and makes this a very approachable drink for guests who aren’t big whisky drinkers.
5. Crown Royal Blackberry + Sprite
| 🥤 Crown Royal Blackberry & Sprite |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 2 parts Sprite |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 4 oz Sprite Ice Fresh lemon slice (optional) |
| How to make it: Pour whisky over ice in a rocks glass. Top with Sprite and stir. Add a lemon slice if you like a citrus note. |
Sprite keeps things light and simple. The lemon-lime citrus plays well with the blackberry sweetness and the overall result is clean and easy. It’s not as complex as lemonade but it’s a solid choice when that’s all you have on hand. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice elevates it.
6. Crown Royal Blackberry + Cream Soda
| 🥣 Crown Royal Blackberry & Cream Soda |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 2 parts cream soda |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 4 oz A&W Cream Soda Ice Fresh blackberries for garnish (optional) |
| How to make it: Pour whisky over ice. Top with cream soda and stir gently. Garnish with blackberries. |
The vanilla notes in cream soda create a surprisingly comforting combination with the blackberry whisky, think dessert in a glass. This one is on the sweeter side, so if you like dessert cocktails, you’ll love it. If you prefer something drier, go with the lemonade or ginger ale instead.
7. Crown Royal Blackberry + Grape Soda
| 🍇 Crown Royal Blackberry & Grape Soda |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 2 parts grape soda |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 4 oz grape soda Ice |
| How to make it: Pour whisky over ice and top with grape soda. Stir gently. No garnish needed — the color says it all. |
Bold, fruity, and unapologetically fun. The grape soda doubles down on the berry flavor and creates a deep purple cocktail that looks as good as it tastes. It’s very sweet, so this one works best as a casual campfire sipper rather than a sophisticated cocktail.
8. Crown Royal Blackberry Mimosa
| 🍾 Crown Royal Blackberry Mimosa |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 2 parts OJ : 2 parts sparkling wine |
| Ingredients: 1 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 2 oz orange juice 2 oz sparkling wine or Champagne 1 oz Huckleberry soda (optional, for color) |
| How to make it: Pour orange juice into the bottom of a Champagne flute. Add a splash of Huckleberry soda for color if using. Top with sparkling wine, then float Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky on top. |
This one is for brunch, Easter, Mother’s Day, or any Sunday morning that calls for something special. The whisky adds an unexpected depth to a classic mimosa, and the Huckleberry soda creates a beautiful gradient effect in the glass. It’s a crowd pleaser and a conversation starter.
9. Crown Royal Blackberry on the Rocks
| 🧊 Crown Royal Blackberry On the Rocks |
| 📏 Ratio: Neat — 2 oz straight |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky Large ice cube or ice sphere |
| How to make it: Pour whisky over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Let it sit for 60 seconds before sipping to let the ice open up the flavors slightly. |
On the rocks, Crown Royal Blackberry shows off its velvety texture and genuine blackberry character. The aftertaste can lean slightly medicinal straight, but a little dilution from the ice smooths it out. Worth trying to understand the whisky before you start mixing, but most people will prefer it with a mixer.
10. Crown Royal Blackberry + Huckleberry Tea
| 🫖 Crown Royal Blackberry Tea |
| 📏 Ratio: 1 part whisky : 3 parts tea |
| Ingredients: 2 oz Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky 6 oz hot or iced Huckleberry tea 1 tsp honey (optional) Lemon slice (optional) |
| How to make it: For hot: brew Huckleberry tea, add honey, and stir in Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky. For iced: brew and chill tea first, then pour over ice and add whisky. Add a lemon slice if desired. |
This one is personal, growing up, a little blackberry brandy in tea with honey was the cure for everything. Crown Royal Blackberry in Huckleberry tea is the grown-up, full-time RV version of that comfort drink. Whether you’re under the weather or just winding down after a long travel day, this one hits different.
