bourbon smash

Since the last post, it’s been crazy busy but I didn’t stop making drinks!

Here we have a Bourbon Smash:

2 oz borbon (I used Knob Creek)
4 wedges of lemon
2/4 oz simple syrup
Small handful of mint (and some for garnish)
2 dashes of Angostura bitters

1. Add all ingredients in the shaker and muddle
2. Add ice and shake vigorously, strain into glass
3. Add cracked ice and garnish

mint julep

I’m still waiting for the day it becomes warm enough again so I can sit on the porch while sipping on my Mint Julep… maybe next week. This drink is meant to be strong and boozy so one can enjoy the drink for a longer period of time than regular cocktails.

2 1/2 oz. bourbon
1/4 oz. simple syrup
1 white sugar cube
Handful of mint

1. Add all ingredients into a glass/julep cup and muddle
2. Fill the glass with crushed ice and stir
3. Garnish with a sprig of mint
