Instructions

1. Ensure your highball glass and soda water are chilled. This helps to keep your cocktail cooler for longer.
2. Fill your chilled highball glass with ice cubes, leaving some room for the whiskey and soda water.
3. Pour 2 ounces of your chosen good quality whiskey over the ice. The quality of the whiskey can greatly affect the taste of your highball, so choose wisely!
4. Top up the glass with chilled soda water. The ratio is usually 1:2 whiskey to soda water, but feel free to adjust according to your taste preference.
5. Garnish with a slice of lemon or lime, adding a fresh, citrusy note that balances the robust flavor of the whiskey.
6. Stir gently using a long spoon, just enough to mix the ingredients without losing the effervescence of the soda water.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
