What is the base spirit of a Royal Flush?

Vodka Tequila Crown Royal Rum

Correct Answer:

Crown Royal

Explanation:

Base spirit refers to the main alcohol that forms the drink’s character. A Royal Flush is built on Crown Royal, which is a Canadian whiskey, so the base spirit is Crown Royal. The name itself hints at Crown Royal, tying the cocktail to whiskey rather than vodka, tequila, or rum. Using vodka would give a neutral profile, tequila would add agave notes, and rum would introduce sweetness and rum flavors, but those aren’t used as the base in this drink.
