December's cocktail pie - Winter Cocktail Mince Pies

A Winter Cocktail contains Jamaican rum, lime, sugar, ginger liqueur, pimento dram and Angostura bitters.

My pies are a Winter Cocktail Mincemeat (raisins, sultanas, rum, ango, candied lime, stem ginger, allspice) in an allspice and lime sweet shortcrust pastry.

November's cocktail pie: Eggnog Turkey Pie

Eggnog is, of course, a creamy cocktail flavoured with nutmeg and a spirit.

For my pie I made a shortcrust pastry filled with shredded turkey and pancetta in a bread(less) sauce, with a brandy and orange cranberry sauce topping.

Suitable for many winter feasts - I took it up a hill on New Year's Day (sorry November).

September's belated cocktail pies: Blue Moon Jam Tarts.

Made as child-friendly picnic food for a chilly lunch with foodie friends.

A Blue Moon, in Dale Degroff's recipe, contains blueberries, vodka, oolong tea, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, agave syrup and sage leaves.

My pies are a tangy sour-cream shortcrust filled with a blueberry, oolong tea and sage jam.

My (catching-up) cocktail pie for August: Rusty Nail Galette.

A Rusty Nail contains Scottish whisky and Drambuie.

My pie is a Drambuie shortcrust galette with a honey-peach filling, topped with a butter whisky syrup.

The peaches are summery but the warm spices have helped make this one feel slighly more attuned to our present season!

Catching up on July's cocktail pie - Cucumber Basil Gimlet Tartlets

A Cucumber Basil Gimlet is gin, cucumber, basil and lime (which I've topped with soda water).

For my tartlets, I made shortcrust cases filled with tuna pâté on a basil pesto, topped with basil gimlet pickled cucumber.

Three tarts are better than one 🤗

Revisited my Bloody Mary Tart recipe to make one for a friend's barbecue tonight and two for lunches this week.

Puff pastry tart with tomatoes, olives and celery on bloody-mary pesto.

May's cocktail pie - Bellini Vegetarian Sausage Rolls

Bellinis (nowadays) typically contain Prosecco and peach purée.

My sausage rolls have a Prosecco and blue cheese sausage, with a peach and sage jam, wrapped up in puff pastry - and there’s a bunch of other good stuff in there too, making these about the heartiest veggie sausage rolls I’ve ever had!

April's cocktail pie - Strawberry Mojito Impossible Pie

I was feeeeling strawberries this month, so I've gone for a Strawberry Mojito - made with white rum, lime juice, mint, strawberries, sugar and soda water.

My pie is a self-crusting(!) rum and lime custard pie, piled high with fresh strawberries and mint, and drizzled with a mint-lime glaze.

March's cocktail pie - Diesel (Snake) Bites

A Snake Bite contains equal parts cider and lager. To make it a Diesel you splash in some blackcurrant cordial.

For my bites, I’ve gone for a cider-and-lager pulled pork with a blackcurrant barbecue sauce, all wrapped up in pasty pastry.

Recipe: https://cellarcrumbs.wordpress.com/2025-pies/diesel-snake-bites/

P.S. Damn right I'm proud to have knocked out March's pie in time for pi day this year 😂

February's cocktail pie - Snowflake Margarita Tart

A Snowflake Margarita contains tequila, cointreau, fresh passion fruit and cinnamon syrup.

For my tart, I've gone for a blood-orange sweet shortcrust with a tequila, blood orange and cinnamon filling, crème-fraîche whipped cream top, and passion-fruit curd and fruit garnish.

January's cocktail pie - Kalimotxo Sausage Pie

Ringing in another year of cocktail pies with a Kalimotxo, a drink combining red wine and coca cola.

For my pie, I’ve combined peppery Cumberland sausages with a warmly-spiced red wine and traditional cola gravy, topped with mashed potato.

December's cocktail pie - Christmas in Manhattan Pie

A Christmas in Manhattan contains bourbon, vermouth, ango and white creme de cacao.

My pie is a sweet shortcrust pastry, with white chocolate cheesecake filling, topped with Manhattan cherry compote.

That'll about do to see in the New Year, eh!

November's cocktail pie - Sherry Cobbler 'Pasties'

My November pies are a wee tribute to Margaret, my partner’s grandma, who used to make ‘date pasties’ with her mother in Yorkshire and who made them herself for many years.

I flavoured mine like a Sherry Cobbler, with a date, raisin and sherry filling wrapped in an orange rough-puff pastry.

October's cocktail pie - Kentucky Pear Sausage Rolls

A Kentucky Pear is a proper autumn special of bourbon, pear and cognac liqueur, pear juice and apple juice.

My sausage rolls are made of an apple and caramelised shallot sausage sitting on a pear and bourbon sauce, wrapped up in puff pastry. Great picnic food for a leafy walk 🍂

September's cocktail pie - Sangria Chicken Pie

Double-crusted pie with a red-wine shredded chicken, grape and apple filling.

A summery drink in a cosy autumn pie - I tested this four times and we're still not sick of eating it.

August's cocktail pie - Espresso Martini Pie

About time I tried this! An Espresso Martini is very coffee-forward but I wanted to add another element; and coffee and chocolate are always a good match.

I went for a chocolate shortcrust, coffee cake with self-saucing chocolate syrup layer, coffee cream, and butter-chocolate sauce.

July's cocktail pie - St-Germain Slices

St-Germains are a summery spritz of elderflower liqueur, white or sparkling wine, and soda water.

My slices have an elderflower and white-wine chicken filling in a puff-pastry case.

June's (belated) cocktail pie - Mint Julep Tarts

Chocolate biscuit base, bourbon and mint ganache, mint humbug garnish

I was super busy last month, so planned to make something really quick and simple - but then I was never quite happy with it. But, I've finally got there - this is one of my easiest pies to date, definitely low effort / high reward.

May's cocktail pie - Spicy Watermelon Margarita Quiche

Sweetcorn, watermelon rind and jalapeño quiche, with lime and tequila notes.

Everything is quite subtle, but it blended together well – good for a sunny picnic.

April's cocktail pie - Revolver Cobbler

Based on Jon Santer's fantastic combination of bourbon, coffee liqueur and orange bitters, I made bourbon and coffee beef stew topped with orange and sage biscuits.

This one was simple, hearty, and made me feel like a cowboy for some reason?

March's cocktail pie - Saturn Simnel Tart

I love simnel cake, mostly for the marzipan - so I knew I wanted an almondy cocktail for a simnel-inspired pie. The orgeat and falernum of a Saturn fit the bill.

Sweet shortcrust; passion fruit and lime curd; candied lemon, lime and ginger; falernum-flavoured frangipane; gin marzipan.

February's cocktail pie - Rose Tarts

A Rose cocktail has French dry vermouth, Kirsch and raspberry syrup.

For my tarts I did a sweet shortcrust, lillet blanc crème pâtissière, with raspberries and cherries. Simple, fruity, and - like the cocktail - not an actual rose in sight.

January's cocktail pie - Rob Roy Macaroni O

With Burns Night just around the corner, I've been feeling a whisky cocktail - the Rob Roy.

I combined Burns Supper elements with the most Scottish food of all: a macaroni pie.

Hot water crust, haggis and vermouth macaroni, whisky cream sauce.

November's cocktail pie - Sazerac Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet Peychaud's pastry, sweet potato and rye filling, absinthe rinse

I've loved seeing everyone's Thanksgiving pies, so for November I decided to go down the classic American pie and cocktail route.

Sazerac flavours worked so well here to complement the pie's regular spices.
