Fall Inspired Bourbon Smash

Smash is made of mint and syrup and hence some might question the name but as once Shakespeare said what’s in the name so be it ..!!! This is smash cause it’s got the syrup and whiskey and also cause it’s got the smashing taste to it .
The season demanded the use of spices like clove, cardamom , cinnamon and hence I say it’s inspired by the season and is a must make before winter engulfs us completely .
The Royal Rose Syrups sent me these great flavored syrups . They have a bunch of flavors to choose from and this particular one suited the season. Yeah it’s the cardamom and clove syrup which in-spite of being sweet is infused with the aromas of the spices and makes it unique . Top it with some cinnamon powder on the rim , cinnamon stick and star anise and that makes your drink a perfect match for the season.
Enjoy and drink responsibly.

** if you don’t have it, boil couple of cardamom pods with 3 cloves and sugar and let it cool down. Just let the water thicken into a syrup, stir occasionally and then turn off the stove.
