Strawberry-Rhubarb Smash

makes 1 cocktail

2 lemon wedges

4 mint leaves

2 strawberries, rinsed and hulled

1 ounce rhubarb simple syrup (plain simple syrup would do for a strawberry smash)

1½ ounces bourbon

sprig of mint for garnish

1. In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle together the lemon wedges, mint leaves, strawberries, and rhubarb simple syrup.

2. Add ice and the bourbon; cover and shake. Strain into a rocks glass (short tumbler) filled with ice (or one ginormous ice cube, in my case). Garnish with a sprig of mint.
