What mixes well with Crown Royal Apple?

You can also mix it with sodas; lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, and any kind of cola are good options. You can even combine it with Fireball! The cinnamon and apple flavors are a great pairing. There are lots of options for Crown Royal Apple drinks recipes!
What is a Washington Apple Shot?
This shot is a combination of classic Crown Royal, Sour Apple Schnapps, and cranberry juice. If you’re looking for another shooter to pair with your Crown Apple Shooters, this is a great option. It’ll offer some color contrast as well as variety in flavor.
Popular Variations and Substitutions
- For an additional garnish, place a piece of cinnamon stick in each shooter. (Just be sure to remove them before taking the shots!)
- Make this a caramel apple shooter by drizzling some caramel sauce on the inside of the shot glass before pouring the whisky and cider.
- This can be made into a cocktail as well, though you may want to adjust the proportions so you’re not using as much whiskey. Some ginger ale or even club soda may also be a good third ingredient so you’re not drinking so much sugary apple cider.
- If you do make this as a cocktail as opposed to a shot, rim the glass with some caramel sauce to channel the flavor of caramel apples!
When fall comes around, reach for these Crown Apple shooters as your new go-to autumn party treat!
