Drink

Method

Assembly

1

Prepare glass

Fill a highball glass with ice to the top (about 1 cup). Using plenty of ice keeps the drink cold and reduces dilution.

2

Add spirit

Measure and pour 1 oz of well (house) bourbon or whiskey over the ice.

3

Top with soda

Gently pour 4 oz of chilled club soda or sparkling water down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and create a layered look.

4

Finish and garnish

Squeeze the lemon wedge over the drink to release a burst of citrus, drop the wedge into the glass as a garnish. If using, add 2 dashes of aromatic bitters on top and give the drink one gentle stir (3–4 rotations) with a bar spoon to combine without losing too much fizz.

5

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Recommend one 1-oz serving per glass.
