Mixing
Crown Royal is often mixed with another, usually non-alcoholic, beverage for added flavour such as ginger ale or cola. Common names of these beverages include: Black Tooth Grin, Crown Sidecar, Crown & Soda, Crown & Coke (rye and coke), Crown Lemon-Lime, Crown & Ginger Ale (rye and ginger), and Crown Fizz. A mixture made with Royal Crown Cola is called a Royal Wedding, an RCCR (Royal Crown Crown Royal), or a Pair of Kings (Pair of Queens if served with a maraschino cherry). Another mixed drink made with Crown Royal is to drop a shot of Crown into a glass of Red Bull energy drink; this is known as a LeBomb James, Chili Bomb or Bouncing Betty; a variation of this consists of half Crown Royal and a flavored schnapps in the shot, called a Vegas Bomb.
Crown Royal can also be mixed in equal parts with banana liqueur to make a "Rock Star" or "King Kong" (Crown Royal being the "King" and banana liqueur being the "Kong"). The Rock Star or King Kong can be served as a shooter or on the rocks.
Very common in the U.S., Crown Royal is also enjoyed "on the rocks" or blended with 7-Up.
Crown Royal is often consumed by itself as a shot or on the rocks, with the latter being popular with Canadian whisky and rye aficionados.

Famous quotes containing the word mixing:
“It was not till the middle of the second dance, when, from some pauses in the movement wherein they all seemed to look up, I fancied I could distinguish an elevation of spirit different from that which is the cause or the effect of simple jollity.—In a word, I thought I beheld Religion mixing in the dance.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Political image is like mixing cement. When it’s wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there’s almost nothing you can do to reshape it.”
—Walter F. Mondale (b. 1928)
“Give me Catholicism every time. Father Cheeryble with his thurible; Father Chatterjee with his liturgy. What fun they have with all their charades and conundrums! If it weren’t for the Christianity they insist on mixing in with it, I’d be converted tomorrow.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
