Strawberry Bourbon Smash Cocktail

Happy Friyay!

I know it’s not a proper word, but it sure is fun to write/say. It’s the perfect day for a simple summery cocktail, don’t you think?

Pick up your favorite bourbon and some sweet and juicy strawberries and get to muddling.

I really like to top this one off with tonic water as opposed to club soda because it adds just the right amount of sweetness without having to use simple syrup. Also, if you have a few mint leaves, feel free to throw some in while muddling or on top to make it look pretty.

Sure, you could strain the strawberries for the juice, but I kind of like the pulpy texture. But, it’s up to you.

Happy weekend, ya’ll!
