Whiskey Highball Recipe
Description
This Whiskey Highball recipe features a straightforward approach to enjoying whiskey mixed with soda water. The drink is built by filling a highball glass with ice, then pouring over whiskey followed by soda water, which provides effervescence and dilutes the spirit to a crisp, refreshing balance. A brief stir mixes ingredients without diminishing carbonation. A lemon wedge garnish adds a subtle citrus aroma and brightness when squeezed or rubbed on the rim. The choice of whiskey—Japanese or unpeated Scottish—provides variations in flavor profile but maintains a clean base suitable for the highball’s simplicity.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces whiskey Japanese or unpeated Scottish
- 6 ounces soda water see notes
- lemon to serve, wedge
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Add the whiskey and then soda water. Briefly stir your drink then garnish with a lemon wedge.
Notes
- For a sweeter variation, substitute soda water with ginger ale to make a whiskey ginger cocktail.
- Using fresh ice helps maintain chill and prevents quick dilution.
- Choose a good-quality whiskey to ensure smoothness and balanced flavor.
