The Vineyard Smash
By Noah Heath: @ndh_creative
About his summer cocktails, “The Vineyard Smash”, Noah says:
“This is a riff on a whiskey smash (whiskey, mint and lemon), subbing in Gin & Club Soda to keep things light and bubbly. Using the same guide – spirit, citrus, and herbs – this was the opportunity to play around with a great new ingredient, grape nectar. This stuff packs a fantastic grape punch that fits nicely into this cocktail.
In the spirit of the original, I used a bourbon barrel aged citrus gin, red grapes (feel free use whatever variety you like), and rosemary to create a layered sipping cocktail that would be great on its on.
This one gets elevated to patio status by topping it with club soda to lengthen the drink and give you those pleasant bubbles that carry the rosemary and lemon.”
Ingredients
2.25 oz Citrus Gin
1 oz Grape Nectar
10 Red Table Grapes
5 Lemon cut into chunks

Club Soda
Preparation
Add grapes, lemon and rosemary to a mixing glass and muddle. Add in gin and grape nectar. Top with cracked ice and stir to combine. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh crushed ice, then top with club soda. Garnish with a rosemary and grape sprig. Enjoy!
