Whiskey Smash
🥃 Serve in: Rocks Glass
Fresh mint and lemon get muddled with sugar syrup here before bourbon joins in -- essentially a whiskey-based cousin of the Mojito and Mint Julep. Popularized in its modern form by bartender Dale DeGroff in the 2000s, it's become a staple of contemporary whiskey menus. Bright, herbal, and citrus-forward, a great warm-weather bourbon option. Served over crushed ice in a rocks glass.
