Smashing!
















We took a quick jaunt into the City and had yet another successful session at Pegu Club Perfectly crafted old world cocktails are expected there so it takes something special to stand out. We found one that served with distinction and belongs on the "know how" list. Translation, I wanted to know how to make one. Our bartender gave us the recipe on the back of a Pegu business card.

Whiskey Smash
  • 2 oz Rye Burbon. Old Foresters 100 proof Bourbon
  • 3/4 oz simple Sugar
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 2~3 Mint sprig

Muddle the lemon, mint, and simple syrup in the bottom of a mixing glass. Add bourbon, shake, and strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with cubed ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint, and serve

I will second that this was also my favorite discovery as we were transported from chilly streets of New York off to the warm glow of Rangoon.

Other favorites
Based on taste: the Zelda
Based on name alone: the Sleepy Monk. At least I think that was the name... it was the last of a few round of cocktails!
