We picked up a Snow Cone maker at Costco and finally pulled it out for the summer season!

It’s been a fun treat for those warm summer days, but then it occurred to me – why am I not using this for more… adult beverages!?

Introduce – the Whisky Smash.

  • 7 Mint Leaves
  • 1/2 Lemon, quartered
  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • 1 Tablespoon Simple Syrup
  1. Muddle mint, then lemon quarters. 
  2. Add simple syrup and continue to muddle until well combined.
  3. Add bourbon and shake in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  4. Strain over shaved (or crushed ice). Garnish with mint sprig.
