Whisky Smash
- This citrusy, minty drink has been called the perfect cocktail for those who say they’d never drink whisky.
- A smash is a close relative of the mint julep (both feature whisky, sugar and mint). But a smash is shaken, not stirred. And you don’t need to use crushed ice.
- It’ll really smash your thirst on a hot day!

ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| J.P. Wiser’s Deluxe Canadian Whisky | 2 oz. |
| Lemon juice | 1 oz. |
| Simple syrup | 0.5 oz. |
| Sprig of mint | 1 |
| Sprig of mint for garnish | 1 |
instructions
- Add the mint and a splash of water to the bottom of a cocktail shaker glass and muddle (that is, press firmly with a muddler but without ripping it).
- Add the rest of the ingredients and shake well.
- Strain into a rocks glass with ice, garnished with fresh mint sprig(s)
Variations & tips
- Simple syrup is available to purchase at some liquor stores, gourmet food stores and cocktail supply stores (search online).
- But it’s easy to make your own simple syrup: Add equal parts (say, ¼ cup each) white sugar and water to a saucepan, heat gently (simmer, don’t boil) and stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside and let it cool before using.
- Add berries or small pieces of cut fruit to make it even more “smashing”! Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and small chunks of orange and/or lemon will all taste great.
