Happy hour is still the best hour, even in quarantine

Staying at home 24/7 can be challenging. To lighten the mood, get creative with ingredients in the kitchen to make a delicious DIY cocktail. Then, host a virtual happy hour soiree and show off your boozy creation.

One of our favorite recipes to indulge in is a mint strawberry whiskey smash. Ingredients include 1 muddled strawberry, a pinch of mint leaves, 1½ oz lemon juice, 1½ oz simple syrup and 3 oz whiskey. Combine ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake, strain over ice and garnish with strawberry and mint.
