Highball

By Colleen Graham, About.com

Every aspiring professional bartender should put this easy highball on their list of drinks to memorize. A Canadian whiskey works really well in this drink and while some may use soda water, ginger ale is most commonly used as the mixer. This mixed drink should not be confused with the class of drinks called "highballs." Those include most tall drinks with a base spirit and one or two non-alcoholic mixers. Not to be too confusing, a Highball is a "highball."

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz whiskey
  • ginger ale

Preparation:

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Pour the whiskey into the glass.
  3. Top with ginger ale.
