Whiskey Smash

By cserumga

Ingredients

• 2 oz William Weller Special Reserve bourbon
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 5 mint leaves
• 1/2 lemon, cut into quarters
• Mint sprig, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Muddle mint, lemon, and syrup in a mixing glass. Add the bourbon and "dry shake' (a process of capping the glass with a Boston shaker and shaking without ice in order to blend, but not dilute, the ingredients). Strain into a double old-fashioned glass over a tea strainer, making sure to squeeze the remaining liquid from the pulp into the glass. Fill with crushed ice and garnish with mint sprig.
