In a Mint Julep, the mint is stirred together with alcohol and sugar, whereas in The Smash, one muddles, shakes, and mashes quite aggressively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Smash has also evolved by adding citrus and muddling fruit, and the mint can be replaced with more exotic herbs like basil, while the Mint Julep has remained largely traditional and is still served in its \"tin cup\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Smash is mentioned in Jerry Thomas' 1862 Bartender's Guide, where the famous bartender shares his recipe: \"½ tablespoon white sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 wineglass brandy.\" Thomas describes the Smash as \"Mint Julep on a small scale,\" showing that it has always been a more pragmatic drink, easily enjoyed compared to the often more ostentatious Mint Julep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps a casualty of America's Civil War and the lifestyle changes that followed, the Smash barely appears after the early 1860s. It would take over a hundred years for its comeback, largely credited to Dale DeGroff, who reinvented the whiskey version in New York in the late 1990s. \"I was getting a little tired of Mint Juleps, so I muddled some lemon with the mint,\" DeGroff notes in his book The Essential Cocktail: The Art of Mixing Drinks. It was a version that many modern Smashes now emulate, often by muddling fruit with the mint instead of just adding it as juice – but not always.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA truly versatile cocktail where one can simply let creativity run wild.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVarious types of spirits can be used as a base for Summer Smashes, and here we have chosen one with rum:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrawberry Basil Smash\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecipe suggestion:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 cl Appleton Estate Signature Blend V\/X Jamaican Rum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 cl sugar syrup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4 lemon slices cut in half (remove seeds)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 strawberries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8-10 basil leaves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrawberry slices and basil sprig for garnish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou buy the following in the cocktail package:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 bottle \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rombo.dk\/products\/appleton-signature-blend-rum\"\u003eAppleton Signature Blend Rum\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 bottle \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rombo.dk\/products\/giffard-sukkersirup\"\u003eGiffard Sugar Syrup\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteps:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn a shaker, mash\/muddle lemon slices, strawberries, and basil leaves together\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd rum and sugar syrup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFill the shaker with ice and shake well\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePour the mixture into a glass filled with ice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGarnish with strawberry slices and a basil sprig\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspiration from @AndersErickson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rombo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56635894038876,"sku":null,"price":334.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/3911\/0748\/files\/bourbon_smash.webp?v=1770110326","url":"https:\/\/rombo.dk\/en-se\/products\/smash-cocktailpakke","provider":"Rombo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
