If you’re in the mood for something strong and fruity, then you need to head to Big Easy Winebar & Grill {701 South Miami Avenue #339, Brickell; 786.814.5955} and order yourself a Piña Smash. The perfect way to beat the Florida heat, this is one scotch sipper you can drink all year round, in any setting. After you try (and love) it, come home and make one yourself! We’ve got the recipe, below.
Follow the steps below to whip up your very own Piña Smash:
Slightly bruise a few mint leaves in the palm of your hand. Add the bruised mint, 1 1/2 ounces Glenlivet Founders Reserve, 3/4 ounces pineapple juice, 1/2 ounce lemon juice, and 1/2 ounce homemade cardamom syrup in a shaker. Shake and strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with pineapple cubes and mint leaves. Enjoy!
Happy dining!
