SMASHES
Use old-fashioned glass
Brandy Smash
Dissolve 1 lump of sugar with a little water, add 4 sprigs of mint,
crush mint and sugar. Place 1 lump of ice in glass, then add
2 oz. of Brandy. Decorate with mint, slice of orange, cherry,
and squeeze of lemon peel on top. Serve with straws.
Gin Smash
As for Brandy Smash but use 2 oz. Gin instead of Brandy.
Rum Smash
As for Brandy Smash but use 2 oz. Rum instead of Brandy.
Whisky Smash
As for Brandy Smash but use 2 oz. Whisky instead of Brandy.
The Smash is really a member of the Collins family and
might well be called a cross between a Mint Julep and an
Old Fashioned without the fruit garnish.
