The history of the "smash" cocktail dates back to the 19th century as a variation of the julep. Traditionally, a smash is a short cocktail made with a spirit, sugar, mint, and seasonal fruit. The Kiwi Strawberry Bourbon Smash is a modern twist on this classic formula, likely emerging in recent years as mixologists and cocktail enthusiasts continue to experiment with fresh ingredients and diverse flavor profiles. This contemporary version of the smash captures the essence of warm-weather drinking, offering a refreshing and fruity experience that appeals to a wide range of palates.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
