Cool Hand Smash
The classic combo of bourbon, mint, and citrus welcomes the addition of your favorite shrub. Great for folks who love whiskey, and also those who don’t.
COOL HAND SMASH
2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
1/2 oz Cool Hand Co. shrub
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1 handful of mint leaves
1 dash angostura bitters (optional)
In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle the mint and lemon with the other ingredients. Add ice and shake then fine-strain into glass.
Made with a base of organic strawberries from Stehly Farms and Be Wise Ranch in San Diego, CA. We macerate the berries with fresh organic ginger root and dried cascara (“cascara” is the cherry-like fruit that contains the coffee bean) for up to one week. Bright strawberry notes are complemented by roasted tamarind notes from the cascara. Delicious with all spirits, although we especially enjoy this shrub with rum, tequila, and whiskey.
For Cocktails: Add ½ oz shrub to 2 oz spirit plus soda or citrus
For Shrub Sodas: Mix ½ oz shrub per 6 oz bubbly water
Ingredients: Organic Strawberries, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Ginger Root, Organic Cascara (Coffee Cherry Tea), Salt.
