How to Garnish Your Crown Royal Cocktail 

When it comes to garnish, a crisp apple wedge adds the perfect finishing touch. Choose firm varieties that hold up well in cocktails—Granny Smith for tartness and vibrant color or Honeycrisp for a sweet crunch. Fresh cranberries can also be floated on top or skewered with a cocktail pick for a seasonal flourish, especially around the holidays.
