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!
