Patio season means it is time for Rebecca & Chad to make one of their favorite at-home cocktails - a Whiskey Smash! At their May wedding, the Whiskey Smash was their signature cocktail and affectionately named "The Gus Bus" after their pup and best friend, Gus. Its zingy, refreshing flavors and bright yellow color have us feeling all the spring/summer feels!
