This weekend officially kicks off summer, and I couldn’t be more excited! Despite having to shelter in place, David and I have been doing our best to bring fun into our own home. Given that we can’t go to any bars, we’ve become quite the mixologists. And I figured why not share some of our newfound cocktail recipes with you!

For this first installment, we decided to go with a bourbon-based cocktail. We recently picked up a bottle of Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and although we love Old Fashioned‘s figured why not switch things up for a more refreshing taste to kick off the summer. Enter: The Bourbon Smash cocktail.

The mixture of lemon, mint, and bourbon makes for a deliciously bright and citrusy drink perfect for a hot day with some good food.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Simple Syrup (we made our own with sugar and water)
  • 8 Individual Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 Sprig of Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 3 Lemon Wedges
  • 2oz Bourbon

Directions:

  1. In a cocktail shaker, mix the lemon wedges, mint leaves, and simple syrup.
  2. Muddle together until the lemon wedges are completely smashed down.
  3. Add the bourbon, and fill the shaker with ice.
  4. Stir continuously for about 10 seconds.
  5. Add ice to a rocks glass for the cocktail.
  6. Using a strainer, pour the drink into the glass.
  7. Garnish the drink with the mint sprig, and drink!

Food Pairing:

This cocktail goes well with garlic rosemary pork chops, find the recipe here!
