The Whiskey Smash - An excellent summer drink for you whiskey lovers! I used Deer Camp Whiskey from Northern Latitudes - a nice single malt rye.

Half a lemon cut into slices
1 T simple syrup. 
2-3 oz good whiskey
a couple of mint sprigs 
Muddle the lemon and simple syrup in a shaker (optional with one of the mint sprigs). Muddle it GOOD. Add the whiskey and shake well over ice and strain. Garnish with a mint sprig.
