Notes
Washington Apple Shot: Make this cocktail into a shot version. Use ½ ounce of each ingredient and add a splash of club soda for bubbles to each shot glass.Non-alcoholic Washington Apple: Instead of Canadian whisky, use a zero-proof spirit like Ritual whiskey alternative for the Canadian whisky. For the apple schnapps, substitute apple cider or apple juice.Caramel Washington Apple: Crown Royal is a popular brand of Canadian whisky, and it comes in some fun flavors like salted caramel whiskey, which would give this recipe a caramel apple flavor. Another fun one is the Crown Royal apple whiskey, which would give this an even more apple-forward flavor.Other types of whiskey: Canadian whisky is the smooth, light whiskey that this recipe calls for, but you can try it with bourbon or Irish whiskey if that’s what you have on hand.
