No joke, I got home from work, looked around my kitchen, and thought "what a beautiful day to drink a smash. Let me see if Anders has a video for that" and I log onto KZread, and behold! This top-tier video had dropped 6 minutes ago. Thanks for the great content, Anders, and thanks for your psychic powers!

I just turned 21 in October and I can’t drink beer because I have celiac, but I’ve quickly found that the Whiskey smash is one of my favorite cocktails

I’m sure someone already offered this but just in case… the blueberry thyme smash should be called “Thyme for the blues”

Summer Thyme Blues

The one with blueberries and thyme should be called Thyme After Thyme (because first you shake thyme up with the other ingredients, then you strain it and add a thyme sprig at the end).

I watched this, put my kids to bed, and told my wife I had to go to the store before it closed to buy fruit and herbs. I was not disappointed. Blackberry mint was good, but peach sage just amazing!

trust me on this one: cranberry ginger smash with a gin or genever base. its absolutely incredible!

Local blackberries are so ripe and juicy right now here in Oregon. I made the Bourbon Blackberry Smash tonight with Four Roses and my wife said it was the best cocktail I've ever made. Thank you!

Ok this bourbon blackberry smash is one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long while. Sweet and tart, refreshing. Delicious. Thank you for this Anders!

Peach and Sage alongside the Bourbon Blackberry Smash are definitely going to be explored this summer. I was not aware of smashes but now you've started something. Thank you Anders!

This has to be my favorite video of Anders. I think I've watched it like a dozen times!

Just made the strawberry basil smash with fresh cut basil from the garden. What an amazing taste and scent experience. A perfect summer drink!

The selection of smash recipes in this video is fantastic. From the classic and invigorating Berry Smash to the exotic and tropical Pineapple Coconut Smash, each cocktail offers a unique combination of flavors that perfectly captures the essence of summer. The creativity and thought put into these recipes are evident, making them a must-try for any cocktail enthusiast.

Very nice, can't wait to try them out

It’s a holiday weekend in the UK, the sun is out and the strawberries are just starting to come into season. What perfect timing with this video!

for the blueberry thyme i would try with more a little more fruits and the spanish gin called "Gin Mare" which has nice herbal mediterranean flavours

Love all of these, they will all be on my menu for my next cookout, great video!

Amazing video! Outstanding cocktails! Thank you, Anders! 🎉

So good! Can’t wait to try all of these

I live that the sage garnish combined with the spiky peach slices somehow brings my mind to the agave plant.

These recipes look delicious and are a perfect start to the holiday weekend. Thanks so much!

We just made the blackberry one and were on the fence about the maple syrup. It is just outstanding! Thanks so much for the work you guys put in and share.

I'm dry for another 2 weeks, and absolutely salivating over these recipes. Can't wait to bring in summer with these cocktails!

I'll definitely make all 4 for sure.

Love a good smash, thanks Anders!

For all my midwesterners out there: the strawberry rhubarb smash (inspired by your strawberry basil smash): muddle half lemon and two large strawberries, add 1 oz rhubarb-infused simple syrup (1:1 sugar/water), 2 oz gin. Shake and double strain over large block ice (don't want to lose that tartness too soon). Might try a mint garnish but didn't have any on hand. Also tried with rum as base but preferred the gin.

Thank you for the ideas.I will make the sage one first using mezcal.

Perfect summer cocktail formula! Made the strawberry basil with bourbon today at lunch. Thinking of trying Mango Cilantro Mezcal.

Really appreciate your stuff man. So easy to follow. So informative. I’m very much an amateur at mixology. Just started building my own home bar and I’ve done many of your recipes. So, thank you!

Smash cocktails are new to me, and I love it! Beautiful display from the four you chose to make. Yum. This video is saved for reference.

All the cocktails you've made on this channel so far look absolutely delicious, but these 4 Smashes had me literally craving for them

Absolutely gonna make 2 or 3 of these depending on which herbs and fruits I have in my kitchen

See now these cocktails are my jam - it’s the right time of year and you know what, all I’m missing is some fruit rather than an obscure spirit that’ll cost me £40 to have gathering dust until the next time I make something really specific…… nice, I’ll be making all of these, thanks Anders 👌🏻

The drinks are so beautiful!

made ALL of these last night, what a treat ! Thank you for the inspiration, these are brilliant. Cheers!!

Now these feel like my kind of cocktails 😍😍

One of the best drink channels and my personal favorite. 🎉

I like to infuse the fresh herbs into my simple ahead of time for quicker cocktails. Super easy way to have the herb flavors release over low heat while the sugars melt.

I made bourbon strawberry smash with honey syrup. Was pretty good 😊

My herbs thank you, normally I use have a batch and the rest dry out/die....Now I have delicious drinks!

Definitely the bourbon blackberry one for me, thank you 🍹

I can't wait to try these!

These look great. Also seem relatively simple to make. Good stuff, Anders. Always look forword to your vids.

I had a cocktail party last night and I made whisky-mango-mint smashes, they were the hit of the night. Can't wait to try those!

Going to make one of each since I'm growing all of those ingredients in the garden!

this is the first week of the year that got me sweating with the weather getting warmer, going to HAVE to make a smash to end the week

Gorgeous perfection 🙌

I want to try all of them.

These are all so pretty!

These all sound delish!!

Toss up between the last 3... will try at least one this weekend!

Just made the blueberry thyme smash...and holy cow...thats tasty!

Here in hot humid Houston, your whiskey smash has been my go to summer cocktail. Can’t wait to try the others!!!

Going to use this template for some experiments this summer.

I am definitely trying some of these tonight.

Smashing! These looks so good. I really like the editing in these videos.

All of them sound refreshing and delicious. I might try the blueberry thyme first. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Hey man! Just discovered your channel and am loving the light hearted and fun but passion filled craft you are sharing. Full disclosure, I don't drink alcohol at all, but my wife is a huge fan of mocktails and drinking fancy NA drinks, so I'm learning as much as I can from professionals like you so I can set up a small mocktail station at home. Overkill probably but I am a fan of what you do. Keep it up buddy! And thank you for the education

Already tried the blueberry thyme yesterday. Love it but next time i will go heavier on the thyme. Tequila mint smash is also great. Recipe is similar to the gin basil: Half ounce agave, one ounce limejuice, two ounces blanco tequila and a good amount of mintleaves.

I love making Irish whiskey mints smashed!

These all look awesome, don't know which I'm most excited to try first!

Bourbon Blackberry is up next for me! Beautiful drinks!

Chicago love!!!!!

Yum! I’m going to try that rum smash with some Smith and Cross Jamaican Rum. Super funky rum, love it!

here in Brazil our classic smash is, of course, the caipirinha. the original recipe is made with lime and cachaça, but we make caiṕirinhas with all sorts of different fruits (berries, pinapple, passion fruit, you name it), and with vodka, rum or sake in place of the cachaça as well.

Going for the Blueberry Thyme Smash this evening. Will lebt you know how it tastes. Ty Anders for your wonderful ideas ❤

The close up shots of these drinks... This might be the prettiest video yet.

I will be trying all of these sir

Wow! I’ve made the 1st 3, mint/basil/thyme. I thought the blackberry mint was awesome, but the combination of thmye and gin blew my mind! Awesome drinks!!!!

One of my favorite smashes has tequila, blackberries, mint, and vanilla syrup. So good!

😅Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them so much. And I actually make the cocktails mmm delicious.

Got a big ol' blackberry bush in the backyard. I know what cocktail I'll be making when it's heavy with fruit! Great looking recipes!

Awesome content. I really appreciate your highlighting the versatility of the smash formula and encouraging your viewers to explore. Btw, I also thought at one point that I’d invented the gin basil smash 😂

So I tried the Blackberry Smash today, specifically went to the specialty store to buy the same bourbon. It's insanely delicious! So glad I tried it.

Too the bar . Yes sir.🎉🎉🎉

These got me properly excited

Just planted a bunch of unusual herbs. Rue, Lovage, Vietnamese coriander, 6 different varieties of thyme... going to be a smashing summer.

Ooouuuu I need to try these

The Rum and Gin ones definitely have my attention the most, followed by the Peach Tequila one. Lets be real though, I'm probably gonna be making all of them in the near future!

Even though I'm going into summer, I'd definitely try these

If you can find arctic blueberries from Alaska or Canada, they have purple flesh and a whole heck of a lot more flavour than the white flesh, borderline flavourless variety you normally find in stores

Terrific video, I'll be trying some of these out soon. I make a similar one to the first, but use honey syrup instead of maple, and also add some rhubarb bitters and sage garnish. It's a recipe I got from a jazz club I've played at, one of their signature cocktails. These are all great for summertime with fresh herbs growing in the garden.

Anders, I loved the rum strawberry basil smash. I swapped out the Demerara syrup for a home made kiwi fruit syrup which produced an even funkier/fruity cocktail. Truly a delight, thanks for your genius 😊 🍓 🥝 🍹

I liked this one because not only does it show you how to make 4 nice smashed but also gives you the template for creating your own.
