Detailed description
Washington Apple is a fruity shots built around whiskey. Sweet-tart and easygoing, it feels like a polished souvenir from a great night out.
The build centers on 1/2 oz Crown Royal, 1/2 oz sour apple schnapps, and 1/2 oz cranberry juice. In the glass, sweet apple opens first, then cranberry brings a ruby tartness that reins everything in before the whisky rounds it out.
It comes together in 3 minutes and is served in a shot glass. This is a fast 3 minutes build, so it works best when everything is measured before you start.
