I agree with his words about the bourbon selection. I tried Whiskey Smash with Jim Beam and Four Roses, and the taste of the cocktail with Four Roses was so much better.

I Tried making this drink for the first time following his steps and it turned out really good. Great tip on making the simple syrup, extremely easy and cost efficient.

Great video, sub'd. I like the logic behind using lemon juice along with a bit of peel vs. muddling. Going to try that tonight. Cheers!
