Martina McBride's Whiskey Smash Cocktail Recipe Will Be Tops on Your Happy Hour Playlist by Donna John

My mom surprised me with a signed copy of Martina McBride's new cookbook, Martina's Kitchen Mix. After flipping through the book, you'll quickly learn that Martina loves her cocktails! Here is the first recipe I made from the book, which is a cocktail recipe, of course.

You'll need:

• 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
• 8 fresh mint leaves
• 1 1/2 ounces simple syrup (here's how to make simple syrup)
• 4 ounces bourbon
• lemon wedges and mint leaves, for garnish

Here's how to make it:

Muddle the lemon and mint in a cocktail shaker. 

Add the simple syrup and bourbon. Fill the shaker with ice. Put lid on a shake about 30 seconds.

Strain into two cocktail glasses filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge and mint leaves. Serve.
