How to Make: Washington Apple

In Episode 14 (S2/E1) of the Podcast, Hoover made a variation of one of our favorite shots, a Washington Apple.

Washington Apples typically are made like this:

Fill a tin 1/3 with Ice

1 shot of Crown Royal
1 shot of Apple Pucker
1/2 a shot of Triple Sec
2 oz of Cranberry Juice
a dash of Lemon Lime Soda

Now this, done correctly, is actually a fantastic shot. If you get it and it’s Nuclear Green, it may just be a sickly sweet “girly shot”. But done like this, it’s super refreshing, has a good amount of booze (whiskey to boot) and it’s a nice break from your stiff drinks that I assume you’re all consuming.

But Hoover decided to try a variation on this and because we needed more than just shots during our Podcast, he created a fantastic Cocktail version of the Washington Apple.

This is what he did:

2 shots of Crown Royal
1 shot of Triple Sec
2 oz of Cranberry Juice
(so far, pretty similar)
2 oz of Apple Cider (we used Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider)
a dash of Lemon Juice

Shake in tin.
Pour into glass.
Drink.
Repeat.

And that’s just what we did!

If you made this drink for yourself and/or others let us know what you think!

Thanks!
