The drink is simple to prepare but we wouldn’t call it simple, since all you need is whiskey, club soda, and ice. The secret to crafting an excellent cocktail is in the details, especially with a drink so simple. You will also need fresh ice as well as freshly opened club soda that has been chilled as cold as possible, in addition to choosing a whiskey that you are fond of (if you wouldn’t enjoy it neat, don’t use it in this drink). When the highball was introduced in the late 1800s, it was mixed with plain soda water, but today ginger ale is the mixer most commonly used. This soda can be enjoyed with whiskey or ginger beer and its sweet, fruity flavor adds depth and a snappy note to the drink. It’s one of the reasons the food is so popular because you can make a near-endless variety of tastes by mixing these two ingredients.
