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.”
