Tips for making amazing Washington Apple Shots

• You can mix these shots in advance, if you don’t add the soda water. You can always add the soda water into each separate glass and just use a splash, without measuring. However, I definitely think it’s best when served immediately upon mixing.
• If desired, you can take out the Crown Royal and Sour Apple Schnapps and replace it with 8 ounces of Crown Royal Apple.
• You can always give a slight shake to combine the ingredients in the cocktail shaker, however, stirring instead helps preserve more of the carbonation in the soda water. You can always leave the soda water out of the shaker, and just add a splash to each shot glass once poured.
• If you want ice cold shots, you can add a couple pieces of ice to the cocktail shaker.
• You can either use cranberry cocktail juice or 100% juice.
