| 1 tablespoonful | sugar — white sugar | sweetener |
- Put the mint, verbena, Hollands, and white sugar into a glass.
- Fill up with shaven ice and serve with straws.
Garnish: Mint and verbena.
Ice: Shaven ice
The inclusion of verbena gives this one extra historical interest beyond the more standard smash formulas.
It sits close to julep territory, but the smash naming keeps the focus on the muddled herbal top-note rather than bouquet service.
