These 4 summer smash recipes are perfect for the warm weather! Each drink will use the same template because the smash is highly adaptable. We’ll use all different base spirits, sweeteners, fruits, and herbs – so there should be a rendition here for everyone! Hope you enjoy these, experiment with new combinations, and have fun with it. Cheers!
