Crown Royal Apple Recipe

Chill glass

Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail so the drink stays cold.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Crown Royal Apple, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz green apple liqueur. Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker (about 1 cup).

Shake

Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker feels well chilled and slightly frosty on the outside.

Strain

Discard ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass filled with fresh ice using a Hawthorne and/or fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.

Optional variation (on the rocks)

For a simpler serve, skip the coupe and pour over a large ice cube in a rocks glass; garnish as below.

Float a thin apple slice on top of the drink or skewer it and rest it on the rim. If using a lemon twist, express the oils over the surface by holding the twist over the drink and giving it a quick squeeze, then drop it in or discard as preferred.
