This cocktail is refreshing and easy to make. The mint adds a bright and herbal note, while the lemon adds a touch of acidity. The club soda adds a bit of fizz and lightness. The mint sprig is a classic garnish that adds a pop of colour and flavour.

 

Here are some tips for making a perfect Bourbon Smash:

  • Use fresh mint leaves. Canned or preserved mint will not have the same flavour.
  • Don’t over-muddle the mint leaves. You want to just crush them enough to release the oils, but not so much that they turn to mush.
  • Use Hocus bourbon. Our bourbon will make a big difference in the flavor of the cocktail.
  • Serve immediately. This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh.
