How to Make a Whisky Highball

The Whisky Highball is a simple and refreshing cocktail made by combining whisky with soda water. It blends the deep aroma and smooth body of whisky with the effervescent freshness of soda water, creating a clean and easy-drinking flavor.

With an alcohol content of around 10–12%, it’s light enough to enjoy casually and easy to prepare by simply pouring over ice. Originating in the late 19th century in the United States, it became particularly refined and popularized in Japan, where balance and refreshing texture are emphasized.

Perfect for pairing with light meals or for enjoying a crisp, refreshing moment anytime.
