If you are looking for the perfect cocktail to make with Crown Royal, you have come to the right place. We have pulled together our favorite Crown Royal drinks from sweet to sour to fruity and smokey.
Whiskey Sour
Starting with the most classic cocktail is the whisky sour. The oldest mention of this drink was printed in a Wisconsin newspaper in 1870. This simple yet tasty drink is a mix of whisky, lemon juice, and sugar. It is then served on the rocks or straight up, with a maraschino cherry and a half an orange slice. Add an egg white, and you have yourself a Boston Sour, and if you add in a few spoons of red wine ( which just floats on top), it is called a New York Sour.
Here’s what you need to make this drink:
4.5 cl (3 parts) Crown Royal
3 cl (2 parts) fresh lemon juice
1.5 cl (1 part) simple syrup
