The smash is an open-ended co*cktail, freely variable and seasonally flexible. There must be ice, though you may strain it out if you prefer. There should be fruit in season, though you may use it simply as a garnish. There should be a spirit base, though you may use your spirit of choice.

Stirring vs Shaking a co*cktail

The refreshing pairing of citrus and herbs is warmed by smooth scotch and poured over ice to make a simply sublime drink, otherwise known as the whisky smash. It's a popular co*cktail year round, but nothing quite beats a smash at a scorching summer BBQ or balmy alfresco brunch. It's also an easy recipe to refashion.
