What Does Crown Apple Taste Like?
Crown Royal Apple embodies the smooth flavor of original Crown Whisky combined with a green sour apple flavor. It’s sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet. The crisp apple flavor is light enough that you still taste the caramel notes of the Crown Royal Whisky.
The flavor most reminds me of a mix of apple juice and a less-sweet green apple hard candy but with a kick, of course.
The caramel and spice mixed with apple is crisp yet sweet. It’s full bodied, fruity, very smooth and has no whisky burn going down. The whisky taste is upfront and the lingering after taste is the flavor of green apples.
Does Crown Apple use real apples?
Yes, Crown Royal Apple is infused with real Regal Gala apples. Hence, the proper name for this flavored whisky is Crown Royal Regal Apple.
The Regal Gala apples are mixed with water and alcohol, distilled and then mixed with Crown Royal whisky.

Crown Apple and Cranberry Ingredients
There’s nothing easier than a delicious drink that only needs 2 ingredients. Well, 3 ingredients if you want to add garnish. This Crown Apple and Cranberry is made just like the name, except this time I’ve changed up the cranberry juice. Here’s what you need:
- Crown Royal Regal Apple Whisky
- Cranberry Juice OR Cranberry Apple Juice
- Fresh apples for garnish.
Note: Cranberry Juice and Cranberry Apple juice are interchangeable. I’ve chosen the Cranberry Apple for a little more apple flavor. Pick whichever one you prefer!
How to Make Crown Apple and Cranberry
Step 1: Fill your cocktail glass with ice.
Step 2: Add a shot of Apple Crown
Step 3: Top off with Cranberry juice or Cranberry Apple juice. I use about 4-5 ounces of juice.
You can make your drink stronger with more Apple Crown or less cranberry juice. So, mix to your tastes!
Step 4: Add fresh apple slices for garnish.
To make an apple fan garnish, you’ll need 4 slices of apple. Green or Red apples are fine. Since this Crown Apple and Cranberry is a bright red drink, I think the green apple slices pop nicely for garnish.
Arrange the apples in a fan shape and use a drink skewer or toothpick to hold them together. Then set the apple slices across the top of the glass. The edge of the glass will help support the apple garnish.
This is optional of course! This beautiful garnish does make your Crown Apple drinks look even more delicious though!
This Crown Apple and Cranberry is smooth, sweet and refreshing. An easy-to-make Fall cocktail that looks amazing with apple slices for garnish. Relax and Enjoy!
