Meet the Georgia Smash
The Georgia Smash is your sippable respite on a hot summer night, and certainly a must-try for your Fourth of July. Developed by Jeffrey Morgenthaler, author of Drinking Distilled and co-author of The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique, it’s a tropical mix of flavors with just the right amount of kick from 1792 Small Batch or Full Proof Bourbon.
