Here's a secret many bartenders know: Most drinks follow the basic formula of 2 parts base (spirit) with 1 part sweetener (liqueur or sugar) and 1 to 2 parts juice (lemon, lime, or orange). This lime and vodka cocktail follows that rule.

Whiskey Smash, Shaken

This Whiskey Smash update was created by Dale DeGroff at the Rainbow Room in the early 1990s. Today, he makes his Smash with Curacao instead of simple syrup, but I like the drink more true to form.
