Crown Royal Apple Celebrates Green at the ATL Hawks Game | #CrownApple Friday 25 March, 2016

Hey everyone! What did you all do for St.Patricks Day. I actually spent it by going to a basketball game and I was invited by Crown Royal to enjoy a VIP Green experience to see the Hawks vs Nuggets. That’s cool but what does that have to do with St.Patricks Day? Crown Royal has Crown Royal Apple, which is their newest whisky flavor – so what better way to celebrate the holiday with some spirits with a green theme – Apples! Great idea and I was excited to be spending my night with drinks and a game!
Crown Royal Regal Apple is a combination of the renowned taste of Crown Royal whisky infused with natural apple flavors.Perfect for toasting occasions, Crown Royal Regal Apple is best enjoyed as a chilled shot, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail for a uniquely smooth experience. I’ve had it a few times in the past, but during the VIP suite they had signature Crown Apple cocktails for us to try. I loved the Cranberry Apple (Crown Royal Apple + Cranberry).

Having a great time with my friend Marquisha in the VIP suite section to see the Hawks Game
I was so excited to see the Hawks Game and I brought my college friend Marquisha to enjoy the suite with me. I haven’t been to one in forever, and it was a good night. They beat the Nuggets! Yay Go Hawks!!!
We had a personal tasting with Master of Whiskey Ryan Ross. During the tasting I was able to sample the Original Crown Royal Whiskey, Crown Royal Rye & the star of the event the Crown Royal Regal Apple. All of the tasting samples were smooth. I’ve told you all before I am not a brown liqour drinker – but now I feel converted to this. Definitely a huge fan of the Crown Royal Apple! It was my favorite.
About the Crown Royal Regal Apple: To maintain the essence of the Regal Gala apple, the apples start in a mixture of water and alcohol. The mixture is then distilled and specific selections are collected based on aroma. The aromatic fractions are blended to achieve the resulting apple flavor characteristics of the Regal Gala apple. The 70 proof (35% ABV) whisky opens with a slightly tart, crisp, apple flavor balanced with signature Crown Royal whisky with notes of caramel and light spice. Yum!
Of course we had some special VIP Hawks Fun in the Suite! We got a visit from a few of the Hawk Dancers! They were so cute and makes me feel like I wanna lose 15 pounds and join them. I am so serious! My body goals starts by looking at this chicks…I gotta get right like them! #Motivated

This was such a great experience. Like I said I have sampled a little of Crown Royal Regal Apple in the past but now I think I will make it a drink I will order more often. I am even intrigued to make in into adult dishes. I will experiment they gave us all a parting gift of the whiskey (cheers).
How Did You Spend Your St.Patricks Day? Ever Had Crown Royal Apple?
I’m not much of a crown drinker but I have a few guy friends who are… This recipe will knock off their socks!
This is so cool that you were in a VIP box for the game. I’m going to whip up this drink recipe for some of my guy friends. They will be so surprised that I know how to make something tasty with Crown.
I’m not much of a CR drinker, but I would kind of like to try a whiskey sour made with the CR Apple.
The only way to see the game is in the VIP box. It is the best
I’ve never tried Crown Royal Apple, but your recipe sounds so delicious. St Patrick’s Day is a fun holiday that we love celebrating with good food & good company!
This brings back memories of my promo ad days when I used to plan events for brands like Crown Royal. It still remains one of my favorite brands, and I definitely want to try this new Green Apple.
The drink recipes sound yummy! I love finding new ones to try.
Crown Royal Apple sounds great, must try these drinks 🙂
I just tried this for the first time last weekend in a shot. I have to admit, I LOVED it, even when I didn’t think I would.
I’ve never tried Crown Royal Apple but I am most definitely intrigued! And what a fabulous way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day! I used to go to NBA games quite frequently but now I haven’t been in a couple of years :/
I’m not much of a drinker, but having a suite at a game sounds like so much fun! I would love to take my son to a professional game one day!
I am not a whiskey drinker but that doesn’t mean I am party pooper. We had a great St. Paddys day with a friends and an extra late school night 🙂
I do like me some Crown. I have never tasted the apple kind.
Looks like a fun party! I am much more of a wine lady myself!
I think it’s a little too hard-core for me, but the apple flavoring might make me partial to it.
You know what I like the most about apples? They help me stay awake. They are even more effective at times than coffee.
looks like you had a fabulous time!! what a fun night
I never tasted this apple kind before.But it looks like different to my usual one.
Looks like everyone had a great time. I love going to live sports events.
I didn’t realize Crown Royal offered an apple one. That sounds delicious to me! I will have to go pick up some.
I don’t drink but I know so many who prefer Crown over others. I hear it’s great!!!! Ahhh VIP box for a game, thats the life!
I am so glad you were in a VIP box for the game and had a personal tasting with Master of Whiskey! It is such a great experience! I’ve never tried Crown Royal Apple, but it sounds so delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Master of Whiskey sounds like a great job to have.
Sounds like a fun night!! I love a good basketball game!
It looks like you had a blast a the game! I love attending sporting events in person! So much better!
I had no idea they made an apple flavor! Yum! The basketball game looks like it was an awesome time!
I always knew that making whiskey was a tedious process, I just didn’t realize how much work is put into it. That’s really amazing. What a fun experience!
That’s smart to put cranberry in there. My two oldest like Crown once in awhile.
I am not a drinker, but I know many people who would like this!
It looks like you had a blast, id to love to do those type of things now i only have to convince my geek boyfriend to get out of the house.
I’m crazy for basketball! How fun that you were in the VIP Suite! I usually just watch from home.
I’ve never heard of Apple flavored whisky. My drinks as far as cocktails is pretty much limited to margaritas 🙂 , but l would try this over ice l think, and l would like it most likely.
I love crown apple so this event sounds right up my alley! It looks like you had a blast. You look great as always.

Apple would be a really unique and tasty flavor for whisky. It sure looks fun watching the Atlanta game live and also interacting with their cheerleaders.
Now that sounds like a super fun experience. As a Chicagoan, I spend a ton of time cheering on my teams at the United Center and they have started creating elite bars like this in the arena. It’s awesome.
This was such a fun event!Great to see you and I loved the Crown Apple! And how cute is your pic with the cheerleaders!
That looked like so much fun! I’m not a whiskey drinker, but the recipe with ginger beer definitely caught my eye…
What a fun time! Not only did you get to enjoy the game, but from a VIP box with all the perks. I totally hear you on wanting to join the Hawk Dancers. I’d love to look like them!
I know my husband would love this and he would try it with is friends
What a fun event to get to attend!! My husband would love the new Crown Royal flavor I bet!
What a great new idea with Royal Crown! I can’t wait to try this! I love anything apple! 🙂
Ooooooo Crown Royal Apple sounds pretty tasty!!! I use to love Washington Apple shots when I was younger. Assuming that this taste similar to the shots 😉
I’m anxious to try this flavor!it sounds like my type of drink!
VIP, nice! Sounds like a nice night out. I do not even remember the last time I had liquor. If I had to choose, I would go with a cranberry drink, for sure.
I’m not into whiskey, yet I felt compelled to purchase this back in the summer since the flavor sounded so delicious. I had to end up giving it to my oldest brother since he loves the Crown Royal brand. Maybe these drink recipes would change my mind, though! 🙂
Looks like a fun night with some tasty cocktails.
My St. Patrick’s day was spent with my kids. I’m not a big drinker but this apple Crown Royal sounds good.
I am not a drinker full stop but I love that bottle…does that count? LOL
I don’t care to drink very often. If by chance I do drink, I usually drink rum n coke, wine color, or margarita.
What a great night! I looks like so much fun.
Great post! I will have to try this crown too.
This looks like a really good time. Crown apple sounds really smooth and extra sweet at the same time. Cute t-shirt.
It looks like you guys had a ton of fun! I’ve never had Crown Royal before, but it sounds good!
I’ve never had a crown drink! This looks interesting and I like anything to do with apple. Looks like you had a great time.. and I enjoyed the pictures here.
I’ve never had the crown royal apple. St. Patrick’s day was just another day for me. Plus, I spent my time preparing for my daughter’s party.
What a fun adventure for you and what better way to have the experience than with a good friend!
Even better yet, they won!
I’m not a drinker, hard to find a taste, but I wouldn’t mind sampling these.
Yea I know what you mean about losing some lbs and joining the gals 🙂
I might be the only person that does not love had liqueur like this…it needs to be mixed properly in a really good mixed drink! This looks good!
Umm, this looks so yummy. I was pregnant when this came out and vowed it would be the first thing I tried afterwards. Welp…. all this time later and STILL haven’t ever tried Crown Royal apple…smh. Thanks for the recipe.
I tried it before and it was ok. Not much of a drinker though lol.
Somebody bought Crown Royal Apple to my house for a Christmas gathering and yaaaaaas! I drink brown liquor straight and this was so smooth it really doesn’t need a chaser. Good stuff for real.
The drink recipes sounds so good!! I have never tasted apple flavoring and would love to try it!
It looks like you guys were having an awesome time! I don’t drink but I have to say those Crown Royal bottles are so pretty 🙂
I can not even remember what I did for st Patrick’s day but sounds like you had fun at the event and enjoyed some nice whisky.
It’s cool that you guys were able to go to an actual game and try this out. I actually live in a dry country, so I don’t drink very often. Crown Royal is something I’ve never tried before, but I have been to a whiskey tasting before so I’m sure it leaves an impression.
It’s my first time to hear about Crown Royal but hey, I rarely drink. Sounds like you had a fun night!
