Shots have never tasted better! Step up your shot game with Crown Royal Regal Apple.

1. Marshmallow Shot Glasses

You'll need: jumbo marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers

Steps: First, melt the chocolate. Then, hollow out the marshmallows with a melon baller or teaspoon, fill with melted chocolate, and rim with crushed graham crackers. Place on a dollop of melted chocolate so it stays upright, and serve when the chocolate has cooled.

Pair with: chocolate liqueur and crumbled graham crackers for a boozy take on s’mores!

2. Icy Mint Shot Glasses

You'll need: fresh mint leaves, sugar, water, and a shot glass mold

Steps: Chop up the mint leaves and mix with water and sugar to taste. Pour into the mold, freeze, and voilà!

Pair with: lime juice and your liquor of choice.

3. Apple Pie Shot Glasses

You'll need: small apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon


Steps:
Hollow out the apples with a melon baller. Place in a mini muffin tin to keep them upright, fill them with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and pop them in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. When they come out, they'll be ready to fill with the liquor of your choice. Serve warm.


Pair with:
rum, bourbon, or an apple-flavored spirit for the perfect fall comfort drink!

4. Sugar Cone Shot Glasses

You'll need: sugar cones or waffle cones, chocolate


Steps:
Carefully cut the top 2 or 3 inches off of the cone. Melt the chocolate and drop a dollop into the cone. Once the chocolate hardens, it's ready to fill! Optional: rim the cone in melted chocolate and the ice cream topping of your choice.

Pair with: any cream-based liqueur. Think of it as ice cream — any flavor tastes good in a waffle cone!

5. Lemon Sour Shot Glasses

You'll need: lemons and sugar

Steps: Carefully hollow out the lemon with a paring knife and spoon. Rim generously with sugar.

Pair with: vodka or whiskey.

7. Ginger Pear Shot Glasses

You'll need: small pears (Forelle pears are the perfect size), crystallized ginger, sugar
