Two Crown Royal Cocktails For Valentine’s Day

The good people at Crown Royal (more specifically, their always friendly and pleasant publicists) have two tasty suggestions for those who wish to get their drink on (responsibly) this Valentine’s Day.

What we like about these cocktails is that neither looks difficult to make. Also, thanks to the DaddyTips Road Trips we’ve taken courtesy of Crown Royal, we feel confident that these drinks will be tasty. (We haven’t tried them, but we’ve sampled enough Crown to know that we like it.) So here you go, two cocktails. Enjoy responsibly! And happy Valentine’s Day to all.

Apple of My Eye

Crown Royal Gift For Father’s Day

As part of Crown Royal‘s “Your Hero’s Name Here” program (this year named for Green Beret John Wayne Walding), we were offered the chance to give the gift of a bottle of the good stuff to a local hero. We picked Richard, a veteran as well as a proud father. Here’s a picture:

Richard and Crown Royal

To help us out, please retweet this post or this one, which also features a photo of Richard, who will enjoy his Crown Royal responsibly.

Having sampled our share of Crown Royal’s various varieties, we can honestly say that we were glad to give Richard this gift because we know how good the stuff is.

Happy father’s day, Richard! Hope it’s a great one and enjoy the Crown. Reign on!
