About the Cocktail
Every great whiskey deserves its moment in the spotlight, and the Deep Water Rye Citrus Smash is exactly that — a bright, refreshing stage for the bold character of Five & 20 Spirits Deep Water Rye Single Barrel Selection.
We received this recipe from PourMore alongside our bottle of Five & 20 Deep Water Rye, and it immediately felt like summer met sophistication. The rye’s caramel and spice notes mingle beautifully with fresh orange and lemon juice, while honey syrup smooths everything into a golden harmony. Two dashes of orange bitters add just enough intrigue to make each sip feel like a conversation starter.
His Take:
“It’s the kind of cocktail that makes you want to linger — sweet, citrusy, and just enough rye bite to remind you who’s boss.”
Her Take:
“It’s sunshine in a glass with a touch of swagger — bright, balanced, and effortlessly elegant.”
The Good Life:
This cocktail fits right in — it’s the perfect blend of craftsmanship and comfort, a reminder that the Good Life is best enjoyed one sip at a time.
