Introduction
The Gin Smash is a classic cocktail with a rich history that dates back to the 19th century. Known for its vibrant and refreshing taste, this cocktail is a favorite among gin enthusiasts. It gets its name from the method of ‘smashing’ herbs and fruits together to release their flavors, typically mint and lemon. The result is a well-balanced drink that highlights the botanical notes of the gin, making it perfect for warm weather or any occasion where a light and zesty drink is desired.
