Whiskey Smash Recipe by Dale Degroff

This Whiskey Smash Recipe is an amazing one from the Cocktail King himself, Dale DeGroff. I decided to try my hand at making it and was of course not disappointed with the end result. A smash is a classic style of making cocktails involving some citrus, some mint, and some muddling… oh and of course some whiskey.
