Prickly Pear Bourbon Smash

The beautiful thing about making a smash-style cocktail is that you can be really experimental with the fruit, herbs, and base spirit you choose to use.

Strawberry Basil Smash

Strawberries and basil are simply begging to be together at all times. Throw some bourbon in the mix, and you have the perfect happy hour, pre-dinner, summer cocktail. This is what you want to be sipping while you hang out on the back porch with friends or family while you watch the sunset.

Mojito

In my opinion, the most important ingredients for a really good Mojito is simple: fresh lime juice and fresh mint. You can use all the cheap white rum your heart desires (although I can’t promise a hangover-free outcome).
