| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. A highball may be defined as a tall iced drink consisting of a generous jigger (or more) of whiskey, ice cubes and enough carbonated beverage to nearly fill the highball glass.
|
2. Use a glass stirring rod to stir quickly and lightly. It is advisable to make a medium highball of 6 to 8 ounces rather than a taller one, because the ice melts and dilutes the drink as it stands.
|
3. The most popular combinations for highballs are bourbon and club soda, Scotch and club soda, and blended whiskey (also called rye) and ginger ale or club soda.
|
|
NOTE: Bourbon and Scotch are often preferred with cold water instead of club soda.
