Get Smashed on the Gin Smash

Anything with "smash" in its name is guaranteed fun.

Smashing Pumpkins. Super Smash Bros. Smash Mou—er, maybe not them.

The smash is also a kind of cocktail, similar to the julep and particularly popular toward the end of the 19th century. Imbibe notes that smashes typically contain a spirit, ice, mint or other herbs, sugar, and fruit.

The duo behind award-winning Manhattan bar The Dead Rabbit are particularly keen on historic cocktails, and the smash is no exception.

For their Gin Smash, seasonal fruit and added sugar are replaced by lemon sherbet, while genever, mint, and a few dashes of celery shrub give it a purely vegetal kick.

Think of it as a take on the South Side, but with a little more finesse and far more badass name. And it'll surely get you smashed, too.
