Steps:
- A matter of preference, naturally. A ratio of 2 ounces spirit to 2 ounces soda is a good place to start if you truly want to savor the base spirit in all its glory. If it's too much, add soda 1 ounce at a time until it suits your taste. Measure along the way and make a note of your preference so that you'll always know just how much to pour.

Tips:
- Choose the right glass: A highball glass is typically used for highball cocktails, but you can also use a Collins glass or a rocks glass.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your cocktail will taste. This is especially important for the citrus fruits, as they can quickly become bitter if they are not fresh.
- Chill your glass and ingredients: Chilling your glass and ingredients will help to keep your cocktail cold and refreshing.
- Measure your ingredients carefully: Using the correct measurements is essential for making a well-balanced cocktail.
- Stir or shake your cocktail: The method you use to mix your cocktail will depend on the recipe. If you are using a spirit that is clear, such as gin or vodka, you can stir it. If you are using a spirit that is cloudy, such as whiskey or rum, you should shake it.
- Garnish your cocktail: A garnish can add a touch of elegance and flavor to your cocktail. Some popular garnishes include a twist of lemon or lime, a sprig of mint, or a cherry.
