In today’s video we’re going to make a Whiskey Smash! This is a relatively simple cocktail that requires only one bottle of booze. We’re using bourbon here, but feel free to use any whiskey you enjoy mixing with. The Smash is a style of drink that dates back to the 1800s, and is highly customizable - each component of the drink can be substituted to create a new concoction! Hope you enjoy it for the spring season. Cheers!
