The Smash cocktail platform is a versatile family of cocktails that can be customized to suit a wide range of preferences and tastes. Whether you prefer whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, or another type of spirit, the Blueberry Mint Smash is a refreshing and delicious choice that's sure to please.

One of the best things about a Smash is also its versatility when it comes to the type of berries you can use. While blueberries are a classic choice, you can also mix things up by using other types of berries, such as raspberries, blackberries, or even pineberries (if you can find some). No matter which type of berry you choose, the combination of sweet, juicy fruit and refreshing mint will make for a delicious drink.

So if you're looking for a cocktail that's easy to customize and full of flavor, the Blueberry Mint Smash is the perfect choice. Simply mix together your favorite spirit, some fresh berries, and a few sprigs of mint, and you'll have a delicious and refreshing cocktail that's sure to be a hit.

ProTip: DO NOT muddle the mint! Rather, place the mint in one hand and smack the mint to gently express the essential oils without tearing the leaves. When mint is muddled it releases chlorophyll into your drink; which adds an unpleasant, bitter flavor. If you have ever had a mojito that tasted bitter... now you know why
