Pontoon Smash

Ingredients

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1 tsp absinthe
• ¾ oz lemon juice
• 1 oz pineapple juice
• ½ oz simple syrup
• 4 mint leaves
• 1 mint crown, for garnish

Steps

1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake hard on ice for 6–8 seconds. No need to muddle the mint — the ice will “smash” it for you.
2. Fine-strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
3. Garnish with a mint sprig — and if you're feeling festive, a pineapple slice or leaf.

Notes

• Batch for 6 (×6): 12 oz bourbon, 1 oz absinthe, 4½ oz lemon juice (about 4 lemons), 6 oz pineapple juice, 3 oz simple syrup, 25 mint leaves, plus 6 mint crowns (one per glass). About 26.5 oz total, plus ice for shaking.
