YELLOW SMASH - Fresh Mint, Citrus & Yellow Chartreuse Goodness!

The Yellow Smash was created in Munich by Klaus St. Rainer of the “Goldene Bar”. It is a typical smash cocktail - a sour made with fresh herbs to impart more flavour, depth, colour and aroma. The smash style of cocktails are derived from the julep family. The first mention of a smash cocktail was by Harry Johnson back in 1888. - FURTHER READING - COCKTAIL FAMILIES: http://bit.ly/cocktail-families The recipe I was utilising called for a dash of both the orange curacao and simple syrup... but technically a dash is 1mL (specifically when referring to bitters) so I've taken a more literal approach and added a small measure of each (5mL / a bar spoon). ********** - GIVEAWAY: http://bit.ly/stb-giveaway - PATREON: https://bit.ly/stb-patreon ********** INGREDIENTS - 60mL Yellow Chartreuse (2 oz) - 5mL Orange Curacao (1 Barspoon) - 30mL Fresh Lime Juice (1 oz) - 5mL Simple Syrup (1 Barspoon) - 10 Mint Leaves METHOD 1.
