Strawberry Smasher

unnamedGoing with the strawberry theme today, it would have been easy to just slide in a strawberry margarita, but that would’ve been boring, right?  Well, my Strawberry Smasher is a smashingly delicious start to your day.  Wait….. Or end to your day!  Either way, go easy, or you’ll be, uh, smashed, my dear!

Strawberry Smasher

Ingredients

  • 2 strawberries plus one for garnish
  • 10 leaves mint

  • top off with soda water
  • ice

Instructions

  1. Muddle the strawberries, mint and sugar and put at bottom of a low ball glass.
  2. Add ice
  3. Pour bourbon and bitters over ice.
  4. Top off with soda water and stir.
  5. Garnish with a strawberry on rim-- you can also add a sugar rim for added sweet effect.
