Crown Royal Apple Cider Cocktail

Kick off your fall gatherings with this Crown Royal Apple Cider Cocktail—a cozy, spiced drink that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. Perfect for beginners, this recipe walks you through each step so you can impress without the stress.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Crown Royal Apple Whisky (that’s one good glug)
• 4 oz fresh apple cider (about half a cup)
• A splash of ginger beer (around 1 oz)
• A couple of ice cubes
• 1 cinnamon stick (for stirring and sniffing)
• A thin apple slice (for that fancy touch)

Instructions

1. Fill a rocks glass halfway with ice cubes—this chills the drink without watering it down too fast.
2. Pour 2 oz of Crown Royal Apple Whisky over the ice. Tip: Swirl the bottle slightly as you pour to avoid spills.
3. Add 4 oz of fresh apple cider. Pro tip: Shake the cider bottle first to mix any settled spices.
4. Give it a gentle stir with the cinnamon stick—this releases its aroma and subtly flavors the drink.
5. Top with a splash (about 1 oz) of ginger beer for a fizzy kick. Stir once more to combine.
6. Garnish with a thin apple slice perched on the rim. Bonus: A quick rub of the slice on the glass rim adds extra apple scent.

Bright and crisp, this cocktail balances sweet apple cider with warm whisky and a spicy ginger finish. Serve it in mason jars for a rustic touch, or pair with caramel-drizzled desserts for a full autumn experience.

Maple Crown Royal Old Fashioned

Bold flavors and a touch of sweetness come together in this Maple Crown Royal Old Fashioned, a cocktail that’s perfect for sipping on a cozy evening. Let’s walk through the steps to craft this smooth, balanced drink with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Crown Royal whisky
• 1/2 oz pure maple syrup (the good stuff!)
• 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
• A splash of water (about 1 tsp)
• 1 large ice cube (or a couple of smaller ones)
• An orange peel, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a mixing glass, combine the Crown Royal, maple syrup, and bitters.
2. Add a splash of water to help dissolve the maple syrup—this prevents any grainy texture.
3. Fill the glass with ice and stir gently for about 20 seconds to chill the mixture without over-diluting it.
4. Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass over a single large ice cube (or a couple of smaller ones if that’s what you have).
5. Express the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a quick twist to release the oils.
6. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.

The result is a velvety-smooth cocktail with warm caramel notes from the maple and a hint of spice from the bitters. Serve it alongside a cheese board or dark chocolate for an indulgent pairing.

Crown Royal Vanilla Whiskey Sour

Perfect for a cozy night in or a weekend gathering, this Crown Royal Vanilla Whiskey Sour is a smooth, slightly sweet twist on the classic cocktail. With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a refreshing drink that balances the warmth of whiskey with bright citrus notes.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Crown Royal Vanilla Whiskey
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
• ¾ oz simple syrup
• 1 egg white (or ½ oz aquafaba for a vegan option)
• A couple of ice cubes
• A splash of club soda (optional)
• 1 maraschino cherry and an orange slice for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Crown Royal Vanilla Whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. Tip: If using aquafaba, shake it first with the other ingredients to emulsify.
2. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for 15 seconds to froth the egg white and blend the flavors.
3. Add a couple of ice cubes to the shaker and shake again for another 10-15 seconds until well-chilled. Tip: The colder the drink, the silkier the texture.
4. Strain the mixture into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Tip: For a lighter touch, top with a splash of club soda.
5. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and an orange slice on a skewer.

Whiskey lovers will adore the velvety texture from the egg white, which softens the whiskey’s bite while letting the vanilla notes shine. Serve it with a cinnamon-dusted rim for a warm, spiced finish.

Crown Royal Peach Tea Punch

Even if you’re new to mixing drinks, this Crown Royal Peach Tea Punch is a breeze to make and perfect for summer gatherings. Let’s break it down step by step so you can impress your friends with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of strong brewed black tea, cooled (go for a bold flavor like English breakfast)
• 1 cup of Crown Royal Peach whisky (trust me, it’s worth it)
• A splash of lemon juice (about 1 tbsp, fresh if you’ve got it)
• 1/2 cup of peach nectar (look for it in the juice aisle)
• A couple of cups of ginger ale (chilled—this adds the fizz)
• Ice cubes (lots, to keep it frosty)
• Fresh peach slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional but pretty)

Instructions

1. Brew the black tea and let it cool completely—about 30 minutes in the fridge does the trick. Tip: Over-brewing can make it bitter, so stick to 3–4 minutes steeping time.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, Crown Royal Peach, lemon juice, and peach nectar. Stir gently with a long spoon to mix. Tip: Taste as you go—if you prefer it sweeter, add a teaspoon of simple syrup.
3. Right before serving, pour in the ginger ale and give it one last stir. Tip: Adding the ginger ale last keeps the bubbles lively.
4. Fill glasses with ice, pour the punch over, and garnish with peach slices and mint if you’re feeling fancy.

Bright and bubbly, this punch balances the warmth of whisky with the tang of tea and peaches. Serve it in mason jars with striped straws for a backyard BBQ vibe, or dress it up with a sugar rim for something fancier.

Crown Royal Caramel Apple Pie Shots

Over the weekend, I stumbled upon the perfect party-friendly dessert—mini Crown Royal Caramel Apple Pie Shots. These boozy, caramel-kissed treats are a breeze to make and pack all the cozy flavors of apple pie in a single sip.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Crown Royal whiskey (or your favorite Canadian whisky)
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus a little extra for drizzling
• 1/4 cup apple cider (not juice—go for the spiced, unfiltered kind)
• A couple of dashes of ground cinnamon
• A pinch of nutmeg
• Whipped cream for topping (the kind in a can works great here)
• Graham cracker crumbs (about 1/4 cup for rimming)

Instructions

1. Chill your shot glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes—this keeps everything nicely cold.
2. Pour caramel sauce onto a small plate and graham cracker crumbs onto another. Dip the rim of each shot glass first in caramel, then in crumbs to coat. Set aside.
3. In a cocktail shaker, combine Crown Royal, apple cider, 1/2 cup caramel sauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Tip: If you don’t have a shaker, a mason jar with a tight lid works just as well.
4. Fill the shaker halfway with ice, then shake vigorously for 15 seconds—this chills and slightly dilutes the mixture for a smoother sip.
5. Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glasses, filling each about 3/4 full. Tip: Use a fine-mesh strainer if you want to catch any stray spice clumps.
6. Top each shot with a small dollop of whipped cream and a light drizzle of caramel. Tip: For extra flair, sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon on top right before serving.

Perfect for fall gatherings, these shots taste like liquid apple pie with a warm whiskey kick. The graham cracker rim adds a playful crunch, while the whipped cream mellows out the boozy edge. Try serving them alongside mini pumpkin pies for a full dessert spread!

Crown Royal Butter Pecan Milkshake

Whipping up a Crown Royal Butter Pecan Milkshake is easier than you think, and the rich, boozy twist makes it a standout treat for any occasion. Let’s break it down step by step so you can nail this creamy, nutty delight.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (the good, creamy kind)
• 1/4 cup of Crown Royal whiskey (or a generous glug if you’re feeling fancy)
• 1/2 cup of whole milk (or a splash more if you like it thinner)
• 1/4 cup of butter pecan syrup (homemade or store-bought)
• A handful of crushed pecans (for topping, because crunch is everything)
• Whipped cream (because why not?)

Instructions

1. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into your blender—no need to soften it, but if it’s rock-hard, let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. Pour in the Crown Royal, milk, and butter pecan syrup. Pro tip: drizzle a little syrup down the sides of the blender for easier mixing.
3. Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds, then scrape down the sides with a spatula to make sure everything’s incorporated.
4. Blend again for another 15–20 seconds until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time.
5. Pour into chilled glasses—this keeps it frosty longer—and top with whipped cream and crushed pecans.

Zero regrets with this one—the shake is luxuriously smooth with a warm whiskey kick, and the pecans add just the right crunch. Try rimming the glasses with caramel and extra pecans for a next-level presentation.

Crown Royal Northern Harvest Manhattan

Kick off your evening with a sophisticated yet approachable twist on the classic Manhattan—the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Manhattan. This rye-forward cocktail balances bold spice with sweet vermouth and a hint of bitters, making it perfect for sipping slowly. Let’s walk through each step to craft this smooth, stirred drink like a pro.

Ingredients

– 2 oz Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye
– 1 oz sweet vermouth (go for a quality brand like Carpano Antica)

– A splash of water (to rinse the glass)
– 1 luxardo cherry (for garnish)
– A handful of ice cubes (for stirring and serving)

Instructions

1. Fill a mixing glass halfway with ice cubes to chill it while you prep. Tip: A chilled glass ensures your drink stays cold longer.
2. Pour 2 oz Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into the mixing glass.
3. Stir the mixture gently but firmly for about 30 seconds—this mellows the alcohol without over-diluting. Tip: Watch for a slight frost forming on the outside of the glass; that’s your cue it’s ready.
4. Rinse a coupe glass with a splash of water, then discard the water (this removes any residue).
5. Strain the stirred cocktail into the rinsed coupe glass, leaving the ice behind.
6. Garnish with 1 luxardo cherry on a skewer or dropped gently into the drink. Tip: Skip the cheap maraschinos—this cocktail deserves the real deal.

Here’s the payoff: The Crown Royal Northern Harvest Manhattan delivers a velvety sip with warm rye spice, rounded by vermouth’s caramel depth. Try serving it alongside dark chocolate truffles to amplify the drink’s rich notes.

Crown Royal Cherry Cola Float

Whipping up a Crown Royal Cherry Cola Float is easier than you think, and it’s the perfect boozy treat to cool down with on a hot summer day. Let’s break it down step by step so you can impress your friends with minimal effort.

Ingredients

– 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream (about 1 cup)
– 1/2 cup of Crown Royal Regal Apple whiskey
– 1/2 cup of cherry cola (chilled)
– A handful of maraschino cherries (for garnish)
– A splash of whipped cream (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions

1. Grab a tall glass—a pint glass works great for this—and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill. (Tip: A chilled glass keeps your float colder longer.)
2. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass, packing it gently so it doesn’t melt too fast.
3. Slowly pour the Crown Royal Regal Apple whiskey over the ice cream, letting it pool around the edges. (Tip: Pouring slowly prevents the ice cream from melting too quickly.)
4. Gently top it off with the cherry cola, pouring it down the side of the glass to minimize foam.
5. Add a splash of whipped cream on top if you’re feeling fancy.
6. Drop a couple of maraschino cherries on the whipped cream for a pop of color and extra cherry flavor. (Tip: Use the stems to make it easier to pick them out if you’re sharing.)

Velvety smooth ice cream meets the crisp bite of cherry cola and the warm apple notes of Crown Royal—this float is a flavor explosion. Serve it with a long spoon and a straw for the ultimate sipping-and-scooping experience.

Crown Royal Honey Whiskey Glazed Ham

Mastering a showstopping glazed ham is easier than you think—this Crown Royal Honey Whiskey version balances sweet, smoky, and boozy notes with minimal fuss. Let’s walk through each step to ensure your ham is juicy, glossy, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

– 1 (8-10 lb) fully cooked spiral-cut ham
– 1 cup Crown Royal Honey Whiskey
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
– A splash of apple cider vinegar
– A couple of cloves (optional, for studding)
– 1 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and place the ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the Crown Royal Honey Whiskey, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened (tip: stir frequently to prevent burning).
3. If using cloves, gently press them into the ham’s fat cap in a diamond pattern for extra aroma.
4. Brush half the glaze evenly over the ham, getting between the spiral slices (tip: use a pastry brush for precision).
5. Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, basting with remaining glaze every 20 minutes (tip: keep the foil tight to lock in moisture).
6. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
7. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Dive into this ham’s tender, whiskey-kissed layers—the glaze forms a crackly shell while the inside stays succulent. Serve it warm with fluffy biscuits to soak up the extra sauce, or layer leftovers into next-day sliders with sharp cheddar.

Crown Royal Salted Caramel Brownies

Perfect for those who love a boozy twist on classic desserts, these Crown Royal Salted Caramel Brownies combine rich chocolate, gooey caramel, and a hint of whiskey for a decadent treat. Follow these steps carefully, and you’ll have a batch of irresistible brownies in no time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp of Crown Royal whiskey
• 1/2 cup of salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• A handful of flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined. Tip: Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smoother batter.
3. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract and Crown Royal whiskey. Tip: The alcohol cooks off, leaving just a warm, nuanced flavor.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
6. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle 1/4 cup of salted caramel sauce over the batter.
7. Add the remaining batter on top, then swirl the remaining caramel sauce into the batter with a knife. Tip: Don’t over-swirl, or the layers will blend too much.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt before slicing.

Rich and fudgy with pockets of caramel, these brownies are best served slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The Crown Royal adds a subtle depth that elevates this classic dessert to something truly special.

Instructions

2. Add the Crown Royal, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
3. Fill the shaker halfway with ice, then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine everything.
4. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice, using a fine-mesh strainer to catch any pulp or mint bits.

Crown Royal Maple Whiskey BBQ Sauce

Hoping to elevate your BBQ game? This Crown Royal Maple Whiskey BBQ Sauce is a sweet, smoky, and slightly boozy twist on a classic, perfect for slathering on ribs, chicken, or even grilled veggies. Let’s break it down step by step so you can whip it up like a pro.

Ingredients

• 1 cup ketchup (the good stuff, not the watery kind)
• 1/2 cup Crown Royal Maple Whiskey (yes, it’s worth it)
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (none of that pancake syrup business)
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (for that tangy kick)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (a must for depth)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (trust me, it balances the sweetness)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (for that smoky vibe)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (because garlic makes everything better)
• A pinch of salt and black pepper (to round it all out)

Instructions

1. Grab a medium saucepan and set it over low heat. This sauce burns easily, so low and slow is the way to go.
2. Add the ketchup, Crown Royal Maple Whiskey, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir until everything’s well combined.
3. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Keep stirring to avoid clumps.
4. Let the sauce simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Tip: If it’s too thick, add a splash of water; too thin, let it cook a bit longer.
5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using. Tip: For extra smoothness, blend it with an immersion blender for 10 seconds.
6. Brush it on grilled meats during the last 5 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sugars. Tip: Store leftovers in a jar—it keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

Buttery, smoky, and just the right amount of sweet, this sauce clings to every bite with a glossy finish. Try it as a dipping sauce for crispy fries or drizzle it over a grilled cheese sandwich for a grown-up twist.

Crown Royal Spiced Apple Cider

Perfect for cozy evenings, this Crown Royal Spiced Apple Cider combines warm spices, crisp apple flavors, and a smooth whiskey kick. Let’s walk through each step to create this comforting drink.

Ingredients

• 4 cups of apple cider (the good, unfiltered kind)
• 1 cinnamon stick (or a couple of teaspoons of ground cinnamon if you’re in a pinch)
• 3 whole cloves (just a tiny pinch if using ground)
• A splash of orange juice (about ¼ cup)
• 2 oz Crown Royal whiskey (or your favorite blended whiskey)
• A drizzle of honey (about 1 tbsp, adjust to your sweetness preference)
• A pinch of nutmeg (freshly grated if you’ve got it)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange juice over medium heat.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (around 180°F—you’ll see small bubbles forming at the edges). Let it simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and fish out the cinnamon stick and cloves (a small strainer works great here).
4. Stir in the Crown Royal and honey until the honey dissolves completely. Tip: If your honey is thick, warm it slightly for easier mixing.
5. Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over the top and give it one final stir. Tip: Freshly grated nutmeg makes a world of difference in flavor.
6. Ladle the cider into mugs and serve warm. Tip: For an extra touch, rim the mugs with cinnamon sugar before pouring.

Delightfully spiced and just sweet enough, this cider has a smooth, velvety texture with a warming whiskey finish. Try garnishing with a thin apple slice or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.

Crown Royal Chocolate Whiskey Truffles

Whiskey lovers and chocolate enthusiasts, rejoice—these Crown Royal Chocolate Whiskey Truffles are a decadent, boozy treat that’s surprisingly simple to make. With just a handful of ingredients and a little patience, you’ll have rich, velvety truffles with a smooth whiskey kick. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or finely chopped chocolate)
2 tbsp Crown Royal whiskey
1/2 cup cocoa powder (for rolling)
A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low until it just begins to simmer—tiny bubbles should form around the edges (about 3-4 minutes). Don’t let it boil!
2. Remove the cream from heat and immediately add the chocolate chips. Let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute to soften the chocolate.
3. Gently whisk the chocolate and cream until smooth and glossy. If a few lumps remain, return the pan to low heat for 10 seconds, then whisk again.
4. Stir in the Crown Royal and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
5. Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl, cover with plastic wrap (press it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
6. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion the mixture, then roll into 1-inch balls (chilled hands work best to prevent sticking).
7. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until fully coated, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
8. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set before serving.
Delightfully rich with a velvety melt-in-your-mouth texture, these truffles balance deep chocolate flavor with a warm whiskey finish. For an extra touch, drizzle with melted white chocolate or serve alongside a glass of Crown Royal for a true pairing.

2. Add the diced onion to the bacon fat and cook over medium-low heat until deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant—don’t let it brown or it’ll turn bitter.
4. Add the brown sugar, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and black pepper, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld, then stir in the reserved bacon and water.
6. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens to a spreadable consistency. If it gets too dry, add a splash of water.

Dive into this jam’s sticky-sweet richness, with smoky bacon and a bourbon kick that lingers. Try it slathered on grilled cheese or as a glaze for meatloaf—it’s endlessly versatile.

Crown Royal Whiskey Pecan Pie

Savor the rich, buttery goodness of this Crown Royal Whiskey Pecan Pie, a decadent twist on a classic dessert that’s perfect for holidays or any occasion worth celebrating. With a splash of whiskey and a crunchy pecan topping, this pie is as easy to make as it is impressive to serve. Let’s walk through the steps together—you’ll be a pro in no time!

Ingredients

– 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you’re feeling ambitious)

– 1 cup light corn syrup
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/4 cup Crown Royal Whiskey (or your favorite bourbon)
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 1/2 cups pecan halves (plus a few extra for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and place a baking sheet on the middle rack to preheat—this helps the pie crust bake evenly.
2. Unroll the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork for a decorative touch.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, whiskey, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
4. Stir in the pecan halves, making sure they’re evenly coated in the mixture.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans into an even layer.
6. Bake on the preheated baking sheet for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly (it’ll firm up as it cools).
7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack—about 2 hours—before slicing. This prevents a runny mess!
8. Garnish with a few extra pecan halves on top for a pretty finish.

Key tip: For an extra flavor boost, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes before adding them to the filling. The pie emerges with a crisp, caramelized crust and a gooey, whiskey-kissed center that’s irresistible. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
