The Washington Apple Shooter is April 29th Drink of the Day!!

Sometimes just having a cocktail just isn’t enough. Maybe you don’t want to have something to sip on but, at the same time, you do want to get a quick drink down. Or, you may want to do something that you can share with a buddy or buddies to celebrate a birthday with a toast. What better way to do this with a nice, smooth, and refreshing shooter?

This is one of the most common shooters out there today and for good reason. The apple / cranberry combo with the Canadian Whisky foundation sits well with just about anyone. And why not? This drink tastes just like a liquid apple if done correctly. Please, realize that you are consuming the amount of alcohol you would find in a sipping cocktail in the matter of seconds, so be careful and don’t overdo it. This is very easy to do considering that you do not taste any liquor in this shot.

Enjoy and be safe.
