whiskey smash recipe
Easily one of my favorite summer-time bourbon cocktails. I recently received the 2025 collection of Four Roses Single Barrels, and decided to choose a specific cocktail for each bottle’s flavor profile. OBSF has notes of clove, mint, and cacao—which makes it perfect (in my mind) for a smash format.
The recipe below is pretty standard, but don’t be afraid to add fruit (like berries) or swap out mint for basil. Have fun.
Ingredients
2oz | 60ml four roses Single barrel obsf
1oz | 30ml fresh lemon juice
0.75oz | 22.5ml Simple Syrup
10-12 Mint leaves
Mint sprigs, for Garnish
Cocktail Directions
Combine all ingredients into a shaker tin, add ice, and shake vigorously. Fine strain the cocktail into a rocks glass nearly full with pebble ice. Top the glass with a cap of fresh pebble ice, and garnish with a bouquet of mint.
