Satsuma whiskey smash
- Share via
Feed Body & Soul is a new hyper-health-conscious restaurant and bar in Venice that isn’t afraid to color outside the lines when it comes to indulgence. That’s why it brought in barman extraordinaire Marcos Tello to concoct an all-organic list of cocktails. So you can wash down a savory dish of rotisserie pork loin with roasted squash sauce and wild rice with our favorite seasonal cocktail: the Satsuma whiskey smash. Muddled Satsuma wedges (a sweet, typically seedless citrus) play footsie with fresh mint, organic wheat whiskey and tart lemon. The mixture is mellowed with a dash of yacon syrup (yacon is kind of like jicama, only sweeter).
In a cocktail shaker, combine the lemon wedge, 3 Satsuma wedges, 6 to 8 mint leaves, the whiskey and yacon syrup. Muddle all of the ingredients together, then shake with ice. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass and garnish with the remaining Satsuma wedge and mint sprig.
Yacon syrup can be found at select health food stores and gourmet markets, as well as online.
