Tips for making
- A chilled shot glass makes your shot more magical, just like a sugary rim.
- If you don’t have Canadian whiskey on hand, it’s a replacement for another type of whiskey.
- If you’re not enjoying the sour side of the sour Apple Schnapps, you can replace it with a sweeter Apple liqueur or Apple Flasure brandy.
- I like the tarts and colours that cranberry juice adds, but if you use apple juice instead, you can create a green shoot.
- Garnish with apple slices if necessary.
