No, you are not making illegal moonshine as you see on television, this is a safe and legal way to combine alcohols for a more enriched drink. Cherry pie moonshine is a strong drink, so sip light or use it as a base for your mixed drinks. One thing I know for sure, even not being a big drinker, I still gravitate towards a few sips of this sweet creation.
Easy Instant Pot Cherry Pie Moonshine
My Instant Pot Apple Pie Moonshine was such a big hit that I knew I needed to make Instant Pot Cherry Pie Moonshine for all of the cherry pie lovers. Now that I have made this delicious Instant Pot Cherry Pie Moonshine, I can not decide which one is my favorite. I think depending on the season will depend on what I am looking for.
For winter and fall, I will probably make a lot of apple pie moonshine. Then in the spring and summer months reach for a sweeter mix, the cherry pie moonshine.
Instant Pot Cherry Pie Moonshine
Please remember when using Grain Alcohol there is risk involved if you do not allow your moonshine to cool before pouring in the grain alcohol. Grain alcohol is highly flammable and should never be warmed. This is one area you have to really watch when dealing with making moonshine.
What is Cherry Pie Moonshine
A fun twist to the classic moonshine (legal) that you might know and love. Instant Pot cherry pie moonshine is made with a tart cherry juice and some dark cherries in heavy syrup. This is what gives this moonshine the rich and vibrant cherry flavor in every single sip.
With the mix of juice, dark cherries, sugar and Everclear, you can make a homemade version of your favorite flavored moonshine. This moonshine makes an outstanding gift for someone who enjoys a drink every now and again. Just pour in a mason jar, add label and ribbon and there you have it.
How to Use Cherry Pie Moonshine As A Base to Drink
Don’t want to drink it straight? I don’t blame you, moonshine is STRONG! Diluting it down and using the cherry as a base is a great way to enjoy the flavors in a more mellow way.
Serve Cherry Pie Moonshine With
- Ginger ale
- Tonic Water
- Sprite or 7Up
- Or any other fizzy drink that has carbonation.
You might even enjoy the flavors of a Coke and moonshine blend, to give it a similar taste to a hard cherry Coke.
However you serve it, I am sure you all will enjoy it. This recipe is one that I will be making over and over again for family and friends. The best part of all, it doesn’t take much to make, and you can say you made your own moonshine right out of your Instant Pot!

It is shelf ready, no refrigeration needed then when done. Is there an expiration date, or use by ?
Looks good. Have you posted any other ‘flavors” ?
Thank you.
Since you probably will not get a tight enough seal on your mason jar, you should refrigerate this. I have an apple pie moonshine also and peach is coming up in just a few days. 🙂
Did you ever post the peach moonshine recipe? I can’t find a search feature on this site.
yes I sure did, here it is 🙂 https://www.sparklestosprinkles.com/instant-pot-peach-pie-moonshine/
Can Vodka be used instead of the Everclear?
Generally, no. Grain alchohol needs to be used because your adding it to a base which cuts the alcohol content. If you used a low alcohol content like Vodka, it will be far too watered down after mixing. It should also be 190 proof grain, if available in your area.
This looks amazing! I had no idea you could use an instant pot for that. Thanks for being a part of Merry Monday!
I just got an Instant Pot and I’m still surprised about all you can make with this machine. Thanks for sharing with us at #HomeMattersParty
How long do I wait for the natural release? New to using the instant pot.
safely wait 15 minutes for a natural release to finish. 🙂
Do you have a strawberry moonshine recipe?
Not yet, but on of my future new flavors will be a strawberry rhubarb 🙂
Can you find a blackberry instant pot moonshine? I’ve looked and looked but can’t find one.
Let me add that to my list of new moonshines to work on
Ooh, adding this to my list and I think I’m gonna add almond extract to a few jars as well because almond and cherry is amazing together!
Making this now!! So excited to try. Do the jars have to sit in the fridge for a certain amount of hours/days before we can try/drink it?
You can drink it right away
Do you have this recipe without an instant pot? Would boiling for 45 minutes have a similar effect?
Yes that would work fine
