Gin Smash with Orange
By Mark Hinds | Updated May 18, 2021 | 0 Comments
https://www.umami.site/ingredients/liquor/gin/The gin smash with orange is a refreshing cocktail with a hint of orange and mint to cool off and brighten up a hot summer day. This is one of those easy drinking gin cocktails that you can sip all day long.
Smashes are easy-drinking cocktails that get their name from the mint or other accouterments getting “smashed up” or bruised by the ice during the shaking process.
We recommend using a 1 part sugar to 1 part simple syrup for this cocktail. If you like your drink a little sweet use 1-1/2 oz of simple syrup. For this recipe, a sprig of mint is four or five leaves.
