Method
Preparing the Glass
- 1
Chill the glass
Place a highball glass in the freezer for about 5 minutes, or fill it with ice water for a minute, then discard the water before using. This helps keep the drink cold longer.

Add ice
Fill the highball glass with fresh ice cubes, about 1 cup or enough to nearly fill the glass.
Mixing the Drink
- 3
Pour the base spirit
Measure and pour 2 oz of your chosen base spirit (e.g., whiskey, gin, vodka, or rum) over the ice in the highball glass.

Gently stir
Using a bar spoon or long stirrer, gently stir the drink once or twice to combine the spirit and mixer without flattening the carbonation.
