This cocktail feels like a mash up of mint julep and mojito.

It is a nice, refreshing cocktail to enjoy all summer long, especially during those warm summer nights.

Nectarine Whiskey Smash

This cocktail is very simple to make. Best of all, you can easily customize it your liking.

During the summer months, it’s wonderful for using up ripe or overripe fruits. Stone fruits, like nectarines, cherries, peaches, and plums are great for this.

Strawberries, pineapple, and kiwi of spring months are great substitutes.

3. Pour in bourbon or whiskey of choice.

Bourbon is a type of whiskey. Bourbon is a distinct product of the United States. Other types of American whiskey include: rye, corn, wheat, or blended whiskeys.

Other popular whiskeys hail from Canada (ie: Crown Royal, Seagram’s), Ireland, and Scotland (“scotch whiskey”).
