The Royal Flush is a casino classic that pairs Crown Royal with peach schnapps and cranberry juice. It is essentially a Washington Apple with peach instead of apple, resulting in a rounder, softer fruit profile. It is deep red, sweet-tart, and smooth, designed to be ordered in celebratory rounds at the blackjack table. It balances the oak of the whisky with the stone fruit and berry notes.

Bartender's Note
Raspberry liqueur (Chambord) is sometimes substituted for the cranberry juice for a richer, more expensive version.
