    Washington apple shot is a simple drink recipe that can be made in minutes. A delicious combination of sour apple liqueur, Canadian whisky, and a splash of cranberry juice.

    Glass filled with red drink.

    The Washington apple drink actually doesn’t have anything to do with Washington state apples. It’s a drink that has been popular in clubs, along with an appletini, and known to be a tasty party shooter.

    Made with Crown Royal, sour apple schnapps, and cranberry juice, this drink is a delicious mix of sweet, sour, and is surprisingly refreshing.

    Ingredients needed

    Canadian whisky – Use a Canadian whisky like Crown Royal. This is also a delicious Crown Apple drink recipe.

    If you don’t like schnapps, this can be substituted with apple brandy.

    Cranberry juice – Cranberry juice adds a sweet and tart taste to the drink. You can use your favorite cranberry juice.

    Recipe tips

    • Feel free to adjust the amount of alcohol in the shot to taste.

    How to make this shot a drink

    This apple shot can be made into a drink by increasing the ingredient quantities and serving in a martini glass or over ice in a highball glass.
