Royal Flush Drink Recipe Ingredients

With just a few easy ingredients you can make this fun and unique cocktail.

  • Crown Royal Whiskey – this spirit is where the Royal Flush gets its “Royal”– a perfect whiskey to use for all of your favorite cocktails.
  • Peach Schnapps – adds a distinct peachy flavor that brings out interesting notes in the whiskey.
  • Chambord Raspberry – this black raspberry liqueur is sometimes omitted from this cocktail, but I like the extra flavor and booziness it provides.
  • Cranberry Juice – use unsweetened cranberry juice for better flavor and color.
  • Ice Cubes – you’ll want to enjoy your cocktail ice cold!
  • Maraschino Cherries –  for garnish.

 

Instructions

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Pour in the Crown Royal and the Peach Schnapps.

FAQs

Can this be turned into a shot? What are the Royal Flush shot ingredients?

Yes, the ingredients are exactly the same if you want to enjoy this cocktail as a shot! You may want to adjust the proportions and add less cranberry juice and more peach or raspberry liqueur, but feel free to experiment with ingredient amounts.

Just don’t forget to enjoy responsibly!

Is this a Royal Flush detox drink?

No, the royal flush detox drink is a different product altogether–a nonalcoholic cleansing herbal drink designed to cleanse toxins.

That being said, the cranberry juice in this cocktail does contain lots of antioxidants, which can reduce free radicals from your liver and reduce potential damage to liver cells.

Popular Variations and Substitutions

  • If you can’t find Chambord or don’t like the taste, you can substitute another ingredient like Malibu rum.
