- 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.

- Enjoy Responsibly: Remember to drink responsibly and in moderation.
