A Cool Drink For a Sweltering Summer

Freshly Minted

As we round the bend and careen into the sweltering Virginia summer, finding ways to stay cool are essential to surviving until fall. Mint is an excellent ingredient when you’re trying to add a cold, crisp, and refreshing flavor profile to any drink, boozy or booze-free. This drink is a twist on a whisky smash, adding Aquavit and coconut to enhance the tropical feel provided by the mint, coconut, and lime.

Ingredients

1 oz Rittenhouse Rye

1 oz Aquavit

1 oz house coconut syrup

3/4 oz lime

10 – 12 mint leaves

Directions

Add all ingredients into a shaking tin and whip shake with 3 ice cubes until you no longer hear the ice. Double strain the drink into a chilled rocks glass and top with crushed ice. Garnish with a mint sprig and nutmeg as you sip your humidity woes away
