This drink was created by Brock Schulte, bar director of The Monarch Cocktail Bar & Lounge in Kansas City. “This smooth, fresh take on a classic Smash has a little island flavor, but is all-American at its core,” says Schulte. Coconut water meets fresh mint, a natural flavor partner for chocolatey crème de cacao.
