I had a Jack Rose (superb) and a Whiskey Smash (even better!). I've made both at home, and while I'm now making a pretty good Jack Rose, crafting a Whiskey Smash just as good as the one Jackson Cannon crafted for me is proving elusive. Tips? I have to admit that the ice crushing is probably where I get lazy. I'm too cheap to spend money on ice crushing gizmos (or even a lewis bag), so I usually end up making a mess with little to show for it.

I'm thinking the 'Smash' just 'cause it's so darn summery with that mint n' lemon n' all. Many thanks Lauren! -LT Ps. We're having a welcome home party for 'Squeaky' Fromme tonight and, though she won't be attending, I feel she'd want to know too.
