SUMMER Berry Smash

Peak berry season, meet peak whisky season. Fresh berries and mint give this whisky cocktail its summer charm, while a light touch of sugar keeps it balanced, refreshing, and never overly sweet.

Add to a mixing glass:

  • 1 ½ oz Laneway Far & Wide Whisky

  • 1 tsp raw or demerera sugar

  • handful of fresh berries – any combination of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or blueberries

Muddle to crush the berries. Add in:

  • 4-5 fresh mint leaves.

Top with crushed or pellet ice and give a gentle stir to release the oils from the mint leaves.

Garnish with:

  • fresh mint sprig (optional, but adds a nice aroma).

“I’ll bring the berries next time.”
