About this episode

This episode explores the simplicity and beauty of the Highball cocktail, discussing its history and how to make it properly.

Simplicity at it’s finest. The Highball isn’t about complication or fancy glasses, crazy garnishes, or a boozy drink… it’s about taking a spirit, and making it more approachable. It’s a thing of beauty when done right – and an embarassment when done wrong. What’s the story, though? What makes a great Highball? Where did they come from? Where do you even start? We’ll unpack it all on this episode – so make yourself a drink (2oz of any spirit, over ice, with four onces of soda water… it’s that simple) and let’s dive in!
