How to Make a Highball Drink
You probably order highball drinks all the time without realizing it. In fact, although most people don’t think much about it, a great percentage of bar drinks fall into the category of “Highball”. Which is not only a description of the drink itself, but also the glass it is typically served in.
A highball is generally defined as a shot of a single type of liquor added to a larger portion of non-alcoholic mixer with ice. The drink is served in a “Highball” glass. Which is a straight-sided glass that holds about 10 – 12 oz.
Highball drinks, like Lowball drinks, are designed to be made quickly. Their popularity at bars is as much a result of bartenders needing to make the best use of their time as it is of consumer demand.
For many of us, the beauty of highballs is their simplicity.
