So as you probably know by now, I have been expanding on my cocktail recipes. As a bourbon/whiskey fan, I figured why not make a refreshing whiskey cocktail that can utilize my skills and the mint in my garden. Hence The Guy Corner NYC Whiskey Smash.

Ingredients:

• 4 lemon wedges
• 2.5 ounces your bourbon of preference (When I have it on hand, I use Buffalo Trace)
• 3/4 ounce simple syrup (see the bottom of post)
• 6-8 mint leaves and more for garnish

Directions:

1. Place lemon wedges and mint into a shaker and muddle them well.
2. Add bourbon, simple syrup, and ice. Shake until well-chilled.
3. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh
   ice.
4. Garnish with some mint sprig.
