Whiskey Smash
0
A tall, tart bourbon sour with fresh lemon and a rounded sweetness from simple syrup. Crushed mint adds a green, cooling lift that sits alongside the oak and vanilla of the whiskey.
The Whiskey Smash has roots in a vintage Jerry Thomas recipe but gained its modern twist when Dale Degroff added citrus elements to it. For further details, check the comments section.
