Whiskey Smash Cocktail - get the recipe at barefeetinthekitchen.com

The Whiskey Smash is a smooth, tart cocktail and it tastes like grown-up lemonade. I already know that I’m going to be making this drink all summer long for every possible occasion.

I love finding a great new cocktail to share with friends and the Whiskey Smash is exactly that.

I tried this drink for the first time about a month ago when some of my girlfriends were in town for our Food Blogger Sleepover weekend. It was an absolute food and laughter fest. (Rebecca, Meseidy, Joan, Lynne, and Christi, I miss you all so much!)

The whole weekend was reminiscent of the best high school sleepover, plus amazing food (including learning to make mozzarella cheese!), shopping, hilarious moments, and way too many late nights.
