Whiskey's easy highball

Glass Highball
Method Built
Garnish lemon twist

A whiskey highball split between ginger ale and soda water — the ginger ale sweetens, the soda dries it back out. Bourbon is the American tradition; in Scotland it's poured with blended Scotch, and either works. Tall, fizzy, and endlessly drinkable: the antidote to overthinking your whiskey.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • 2 oz Ginger Ale
  • 2 oz Soda Water

Method

Fill a highball glass with ice. Add bourbon, then top with equal parts ginger ale and soda water. Stir gently. Garnish with a lemon twist.
