Citrus Grape Smash Cocktail Recipes

CITRUS SMASH COCKTAILS (OR MOCKTAILS!)

Steps:

• Place the mint leaves, fruit slices, simple syrup, and either lemon curd or orange marmalade (depending on which flavor you're making. SEE NOTE) in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
• Use a cocktail muddler or the end of a wooden spoon to muddle the flavors together and smash the fruit/herbs.
• Pour in the vodka and add ice to the cocktail shaker. Shake well.
• Pour in a glass filled with ice, about half way up the glass. Top with club soda.
• Garnish with fruit slices and mint.
• Enjoy!

CHERRY CITRUS SMASH

Steps:

• Put the lemon wheels, orange wheels and stemmed maraschinos in a small pitcher and muddle with the back of a spoon. Add the lemonade and vodka, if using, and stir well.
• Fill 4 rocks glasses with crushed ice and then fill by two-thirds with the cocktail. Top off the glasses with ginger beer and garnish each with a maraschino.

BURNT CITRUS COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Combine the orange liqueur, white rum, lemon juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass or large coupe.
• Float the lemon shell in the glass and fill with the 151-proof rum. Using a long match or lighter, very carefully ignite the rum. To extinguish the flame, use a spoon or stirrer to press the lemon into the cocktail.
