Citrus Plum Whiskey Smash
Citrus Plum Whiskey Smash
Citrus Plum Whiskey Smash has flavors of lemon, plum nectar, maple syrup and of course whiskey. Sit back and enjoy this sweet and tart cocktail.
This Citrus Plum Whiskey Smash is the perfect summer drink! We love summer drinks that start with lemonade as the base of the cocktail. I mean nothing says summer drinks more than good old fashioned lemonade.
While this drink doesn’t have lemonade in it, it does have fresh lemon squeezed lemon juice and the flavor comes right through.
A citrus plum whisky smash is simply a variation of a mojito. Which happens to be one of my favorite drinks. Anything smashed/ muddled reminds me of a mojito and the added mint at the end adds a nice touch.
PIN IT!!
Citrus Plum Whiskey Smash
Citrus Plum Whiskey Smash has a touch of smokiness from the whiskey. That offsets the sweet plum nectar and maple syrup and the lemon juice ties it all together.

Can I make this drink a frozen cocktail?
You sure can! Who doesn’t like frozen drinks in the summer?! Simply put everything except for the garnishes in a blender with a cup of ice per cocktail. Whip it up well and enjoy! We love frozen drinks in the summer so make it this way a lot but in the cooler months just use ice.
