Oh no! By definition, you cannot make a Whiskey Smash without a muddler. Lemon oil expressed from the peel is an integral part of this cocktail's character. Follow the original Dale DeGroff recipe and smash 'em good!

I'm not sure "fine stain" is a typo at all. Make sure you brush your teeth after drinking this!

Whoever came up with this concoction should receive a lifetime ban from the bartender's guild. Don't do it. Just don't. I already took the bullet, so you don't have to.

Good perhaps, but is it the same drink? I think not. Call this one a Gillian. :)
