I’ve mixed a lot of drinks, and the Grapefruit Bourbon Smash stands out. It’s got this unique blend of tangy grapefruit and smooth bourbon, with a splash of lemon and mint for freshness. It’s simple to make and perfect for anyone looking to try something new and refreshing. The balance of flavors is just right—not too sweet, not too tart.
