How to make a Whiskey Smash
Add ½ oz Simple Syrup to a cocktail shaker, then 4 Fresh Mint Leaves, and muddle gently — enough to release the oils from the mint and dissolve the sugar, not enough to shred the leaves.
Add 2 oz Bourbon, ¾ oz Fresh Lemon Juice.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for 10–12 seconds, until the tin is frosted and well chilled.
Double-strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
