The Apple Slammer is a fun, fizzy shot that blends crisp apple liqueur with 7-Up. Light, sweet, and sparkling, it’s a lively party classic known for its signature “slam and shoot” ritual.

Serve in a chilled shot glass. No garnish.
Pairs well with salty snacks, nachos, potato chips, or spicy finger foods.
