Whiskey Smash Cocktail Recipe
The Whiskey Smash is eerily close to the Mint Julep but just as refreshingly delicious. This is a cocktail that is easy to drink.
Whiskey Smash Cocktail Ingredients
2 ounces rye or bourbon
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Half a lemon cut into 4 wedges
Large sprig of mint (7-10 leaves)
How To Make A Whiskey Smash Cocktail
Start by placing all but a few of your fresh mint leaves into a rocks glass, then lightly muddle the mint along with the lemon wedges and simple syrup. Once muddled to your liking, top the rocks glass with crushed ice, then pour in the bourbon and swizzle to mix it all together. Assuming there is a little more room in the glass, add a little more crushed ice. Use your remaining few sprigs of mint to garnish the drink. Enjoy.
