Crown Apple Slush Recipe
Description
This cocktail mixes Crown Royal Vanilla whiskey with apple juice over finely crushed ice to produce an icy slush with smooth texture. The vanilla-infused whiskey adds warmth and depth that pairs with the sweet tartness of the apple juice. Crushing the ice in small batches ensures an even icy consistency that doesn't clump.
Serving immediately over fresh ice preserves the ideal temperature and mouthfeel, while garnishing with green apple slices and star anise adds a visual and aromatic appeal. The simple assembly makes this a convenient, visually pleasing drink for social occasions.
For batch preparation, combine whiskey and apple juice in a freezer-safe container and freeze overnight; the whiskey prevents the liquid from freezing solid, resulting in small ice flakes. Serve over fresh crushed ice to refresh the texture when ready.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Crown Royal Vanilla whiskey
- 6 oz apple juice Simply brand
- 3 cups ice
- green apple sliced for garnish
- star anise for garnish
Instructions
- Start by blending the ice so it’s a crushed / shaved texture. I recommend doing it in increments as once ice is blended, it sticks to the blender blade.
- Add shaved ice to serving glass.
- Pour in Crown Royal and apple juice over the ice.
- Garnish with slices of green apple and a star of anise. Serve immediately to ensure the best Crown Apple Slush with the perfect icy texture.
Notes
- Blend ice in increments to achieve fine shaved texture without clumping on blades.
- Prepare in bulk by mixing whiskey and apple juice, freezing overnight in a container; the whiskey prevents freezing solid.
- Serve pre-made mix over fresh crushed ice to restore slush texture and chill before serving.
- Garnish with green apple slices and star anise for enhanced aroma and presentation.
