  • Extra Chilling: Chill the glassware in the freezer beforehand to keep the cocktail colder for longer.
  • Balanced Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of your Bourbon Smash by adding simple syrup gradually, tasting as you go.
  • Fresh Ice: Add fresh ice cubes to the glass before pouring the cocktail to prevent dilution and maintain a nice chill.
  • Garnish Wisely: Choose garnishes that complement the flavors of the cocktail, such as a sprig of fresh mint or a lemon twist.
  • Experiment: Feel free to experiment with different herbs or fruits to add your personal touch to the Bourbon Smash.
  • Enjoy Responsibly: Remember to drink responsibly and in moderation.
