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.
