Best described as short drinks served tall, Highballs are a type of simple cocktail, fundamentally consisting of a spirit and a carbonate (tonic or soda etc) served in a low capacity, tall, ice-filled glass (or Highball glass). Unlike a Collins or a Fizz, traditionally these didn’t contain fruit juice, although this rule has become increasingly diluted and we think that the addition of apple juice and a dash of lime sets this drink apart.
American whiskey (that’s right, with an ‘e’) appears a less explored avenue of the malted spirit, especially outside its native lands. Ask someone if they like whisky, and chances are they’ll swear fealtyto ScotchesorJapanese whiskies, even Irish if they’re serious connoisseurs, but rarely do you hear bourbons and ryes getting similar love.
