What's In DRNXMYTH Apricot Cocktail?
Strong citrus and stone fruit notes excite your palate, but then a cooling almond syrup - pressed and blended in-house - soothes the initial sensation. A 45% ABV rye whiskey is constant throughout but lingers for a few after each sip - just enough to savor until the next. Small-batch cherry bark vanilla bitters help cut the sweet and coalesce all the flavors into a unique cocktail.

The BackStory
History of the Smash
Jerry Thomas’ 1862 How to Mix Drinks, or, The Bon Vivant’s Companion is one of the earliest examples of a smash appearing in the form of a julep recipe. Jerry’s definition of the julep lays the groundwork for the future of the category. He calls the it a “peculiarly American beverage” that is most popular in the South. However he also says, a “real Mint Julep” must be made from a dozen mint leaves, a spoonful of white sugar and “equal parts peach and common brandy,” topped with crushed ice, he does acknowledge that there were many versions in existence, many of them perfectly delicious.
