The Washington Apple, Ready to Drink
The Washington Apple began life as a bar call — Crown Royal, apple schnapps and cranberry in a rocks glass — and in March 2021 it became one of the first three Crown Royal canned cocktails, launched with Whisky & Cola and Peach Tea. Diageo's build uses the whisky's smooth vanilla-oak frame under apple and sparkling cranberry flavours, at the same sessionable 7% as the rest of the line. It was the trio's competition standout: Double Gold at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a step above its siblings' Golds. Find it with the rest of the Crown range in our whisky collection, or on the Crown Royal vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Crisp green apple. Palate: Sweet-tart apple up front, subtle cranberry tartness behind it, smooth Canadian whisky warmth underneath. Finish: Light, effervescent and sweet.
How to Enjoy
Chilled from the can, or over ice with an apple slice for the full serve. It is the picnic-and-patio member of the Crown cans — no shaker, no schnapps bottle, no cranberry juice run.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Washington Apple? A classic whisky cocktail of Crown Royal, apple and cranberry — this canned version builds it with apple and sparkling cranberry flavours over the Canadian whisky, ready to drink.
How did it do in competition? It took Double Gold at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition — the strongest result in Crown Royal's launch trio of canned cocktails.
Does it contain real juice? The producer describes apple and cranberry flavours, not juices — the character comes from the flavour build over the whisky, so expect a cocktail profile, not a juice drink.
