The Whiskey Smash is a 19th-century American classic, essentially a whiskey sour built with fresh mint and lemon wedges rather than just juice. It blends elements of the Mint Julep and the Sour into a refreshing warm-weather drink. The zero-proof version uses non-alcoholic whiskey in place of the spirit, with brands including Ritual Zero Proof and Spiritless Kentucky 74 naturally suited to the recipe. The NA Whiskey Smash is a staple recommendation on NA cocktail recipe sites for warm-weather entertaining.
