A friend brought me a bottle of a Canadian Whisky called Crown Royal. I looked it up before drinking any, and discover it’s one of the most highly-rated premium Canadian whiskies. As a single grain malt man myself, I’m not sure how I’ll take to a blended Canadian, even a premium one. However, I came across a whole slew of recipes for cocktails which can be made with it, and I can hardly wait to give some of them a try. The site is at

and the two that tempt me to start with are the Avalanche and the Dick Wells.
Avalanche recipe:
1 shot Crown Royal Canadian whisky
1 shot Kahlua coffee liqueur
fill with cream
Mix in highball glass over ice, shake well. (8 percent).
Dick Wells recipe
2/3 shot Bailey’s Irish cream
1/3 shot Crown Royal Canadian whisky
Fill shot glass 2/3 full with Bailey’s, then top off with Crown Royal. (24 percent).
I’ll let you know how I find them…
