Highball

Spirit + Soda/Beverage served over ice

Originally a highball was simply Scotch whisky, and soda water, in a glass with ice. Over time it has come to include any drink which is made from a spirit, and a carbonated beverage. It represents one of the simplest and most straightforward drinks around.

For an example, see:

• Dark N’ Stormy
• Gin & Tonic
• Pimm’s Cup
