The Whiskey Smash is a classic cocktail that’s tangy and refreshing! Starring lemon juice and mint, it’s a citrusy spin on the Mint Julep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) whiskey
  • 1/4 lemon, sliced into 2 wedges
  • 5 large mint leaves
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) simple syrup or maple syrup
  • Soda water, for serving
  • Crushed ice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Muddle 4 to 5 times to extract flavor. Add the lemon wedges and muddle again.
  2. Add the whiskey and simple syrup and fill the shaker with ice. Shake until cold and strain into a glass. If desired, add a splash of soda water. Serve with crushed ice.
