Crown Royal's collection of canned cocktail flavors (Whisky & Cola, Washington Apple and Peach Tea) has now expanded to include a fresh and summery Whisky Lemonade variety. This new ready-to-drink cocktail "combines the refreshingly light taste of lemonade with fruity whisky notes. Its effervescent taste – with balanced levels of sweetness and tartness and plenty of whisky character." The bold flavor promises to lend itself well to everything from backyard barbecues to block parties, and it speaks to a younger generation of whisky drinkers, ages 21 and up.
The nostalgic fusion of a summertime staple with a bold whisky creates a fresh new take on RTD cocktails and as the brand says, Whisky Lemonade is best enjoyed cold. The 7% ABV product is available for a limited time in select locations in 4-packs.
