The Georgia Smash is the next drink to be featured on our summer must have list (the first was The Porch Swing.)

This cocktail has a great balance of Cognac, citrus and Sathenay Creme de Peche.  You can stop by The Jaywalk bar in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn or for your next apartment party mix up a few with the recipe included below.
