Even though not everyone likes or appreciates bourbon, I dare say a bourbon naysayer might like a Bourbon and Orange Smash.  The fresh-squeezed orange juice in this cocktail helps to smooth the bourbon so there is no wincing as is goes down (this is best when using in-season oranges, although I’m sure store-bought orange juice is good too).  This cocktail makes me want to go sit outside and put my feet up just as the sun is setting on a warm summer night with an appreciation that there isn’t two feet of snow on the ground.
