Whiskey Smash Recipe
Whiskey Smash
Advanced Mixology
5 minutes
The best bourbon cocktails highlight the whiskey's unique flavor when including complementary ingredients. The Whiskey Smash is a perfect example of this, as the sourness of the lemon helps offset the whiskey’s smokiness. The result is a flavorful drink perfect for sipping on a hot summer day.
When making a great Whiskey Smash, having the right tools is just as important as using quality ingredients. A good muddler is essential for extracting the flavors from the lemon wedge, and fresh mint leaves add a lovely cooling effect.
Ingredients
3 tbsp. Mint leaves
1 tbsp. White sugar
2 oz. Whiskey
1 pc. Lemon, sliced into four
1 cup Ice, crushed
Directions
Combine the mint, lemon, and sugar in a cocktail shaker.
Muddle until the sugar has dissolved and the lemon juices come out.
Add the rest of the ingredients and shake for 30 seconds.
Strain into a cocktail glass (preferably Old Fashioned and lowball glass).
Top with crushed ice and garnish.
