Method

Whiskey Smash Directions

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Lemon

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and cut the lemon into wedges. Muddle them together gently to release the mint oils and lemon juice.

    Add Simple Syrup and Whiskey

    Pour in the simple syrup and whiskey into the shaker with the muddled mint and lemon.

  3. 3

    Shake with Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until the mixture is chilled and combined.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. You can use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother drink.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a sprig of mint on top for an aromatic finish.
