Gin Smash
🥃 Serve in: Old-Fashioned Glass
Mint gets muddled right into the glass with sugar and soda water, then gin, orange, and a cherry go in on top -- basically a gin-based Mint Julep that decided it wanted some fizz. The Smash format goes back to the mid-1800s, making it one of the oldest cocktail styles still recognized by name in American bars. Herbal, refreshing, and built for summer.
