Mile Highball Instructions
The Mile Highball is a classic cocktail that brings together the smoothness of whiskey and the refreshing fizz of soda. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a simple yet satisfying drink that is easy to make and easy to enjoy.
To make a Mile Highball, start by filling a highball glass with ice. Next, pour in a shot of your favorite whiskey. The choice of whiskey is up to you, but a smooth and slightly sweet one works best for this cocktail. After adding the whiskey, top off the glass with soda water or your preferred carbonated beverage. The soda water adds a refreshing fizz and helps balance out the strong flavor of the whiskey.
Once you have added the soda water, give the cocktail a gentle stir to mix all the ingredients together. This will help distribute the flavors evenly and ensure that every sip is perfectly balanced. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add a splash of simple syrup or a few drops of bitters to enhance the flavor. However, the Mile Highball is typically enjoyed as a simple and refreshing drink without any additional sweetness.
When serving the Mile Highball, you can garnish it with a slice of lemon or lime for an added citrusy twist. This not only adds a pop of color to the cocktail but also complements the flavors of the whiskey and soda. You can also choose to serve the cocktail with a straw, allowing guests to enjoy the fizz and flavors in every sip.
The Mile Highball is a versatile cocktail that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. It is perfect for sipping on a warm summer evening or toasting to a special occasion. Its simple yet delicious combination of whiskey and soda makes it a go-to drink for those who appreciate a classic cocktail that never goes out of style.
