Crown Royal has been in the ready-to-drink cocktail game for a while, but I recently discovered their Whisky Lemonade—and naturally, I had to give it a try to see if it could be my go-to refreshment on those hot summer days.

The pack I picked up included four flavors: Peach, Lemon, Mango, and Blackberry. It came with 8 cans (355ml each)—two of each flavor—for $16.99, which breaks down to about $2.12 per can. Each one packs a punch with a 7% ABV. Let’s dive in!

Peach: The peach flavor stands out right away, complemented by subtle hints of lemon. The whisky is quite mellow in the background. However, the more I sipped, the more the flavor began to taste a bit artificial.

Lemon: This was the sweetest of the four. The lemon flavor is quite faint and fades quickly, leaving behind a taste that’s more sugary than citrusy.

Mango: Like the Lemon flavor, but slightly less sweet. Unfortunately, the mango notes were quite faint and didn’t really come through for me.

Blackberry: Hands down my favorite of the four. The blackberry flavor is rich and jam-like, with subtle hints of lemon. I couldn’t detect any whisky notes, which made it feel more like a fruity treat than a cocktail.

Overall, these were just okay. Personally, I wouldn’t buy them again. They seem best suited for Crown Royal fans who enjoy lemonade and aren’t too concerned about sugar or carb content. The whisky presence is minimal, which might appeal to those who aren’t big whisky drinkers—but as someone who is, I found that disappointing. Some of the flavors also tasted a bit artificial, despite the can claiming otherwise. In the end, they just weren’t for me.

Cheers!
