Yield Makes 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 ounces spirit
2 ounces soda or to taste

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 glassware: Use a highball glass for a classic highball cocktail. Alternatively, you can use a Collins glass, which is taller and narrower.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients will help to create a refreshing and flavorful cocktail. You can chill your spirits, mixers, and glassware in the refrigerator or freezer before making your drink.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cocktail the best flavor. Whenever possible, use fresh fruits, juices, and herbs.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making highball cocktails. Experiment with different spirits, mixers, and garnishes to create your own unique drinks.

Conclusion:

Highball cocktails are a refreshing, easy-to-make, and delicious way to enjoy your favorite spirits. You can make a highball cocktail with any spirit, mixer, and garnish that you like. If you're looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day or a simple cocktail to serve at a party, a highball is a great option. Cheers!
