The Whisky Highball

Spirit and carbonation, built long.

The simplest structure in the book: a base spirit lengthened with a carbonated mixer over ice, built directly in the glass. Refreshing and endlessly variable depending on the spirit and the fizzy partner chosen, this family favors restraint and proportion over complexity.
