Cherry Bourbon Smash
A whiskey smash is a classic cocktail made with lemon juice, simple syrup, and whiskey. It’s sour, sweet, and smooth all at the same time. It’s one of my favorite cocktails, especially during the summer and fall time. What I really love about the smash is that you can really make it with any fruit you’d like which makes it such a versatile cocktail and so much fun to play with. That being said, you can really make this with any fruit you want but if you have cherries, I strongly recommend it. It tastes like summer in a glass and goes down very easily. This recipe makes 2 servings but that doesn’t mean you have to share!
