Should a Washington Apple not have Canadian whiskey, apply sours, and cranberry juice?’

That's another Washington Apple cocktail. This one was created by Wayne Collins in the late 1990s - early 2000s.

I've added 1/2 shot of lime juice, and reduced the vodka to 1 1/2 shot, I think still a lovely drink for an evening

is it sweet ?

Agreed, works well with a touch less vodka and a splash more lime. To answer Debbie's question, this cocktail is only sweet if you drink the red base, or stir it to integrate with the rest of the cocktail. I've added our sweetness scale with a view to not finishing all this cocktail.
