Highball

Enjoy a refreshing twist on the classic highball. This version centers around Redbreast Lustau and includes a touch of fino sherry, some simple syrup and Peychaud’s bitters. Top it all off with soda water and it’s hard to find anything you’ll want to sip and savor more.

High Ball Cocktail

Why This Highball Works

This simple, classic cocktail is all about the whiskey. While the traditional highball has just two ingredients – whiskey and soda water – this version calls for just a little more.

 

Redbreast Lustau, with its spicy, fruity, sherry and toasted wood notes, makes this highball a sophisticated riff on a classic. Fino sherry and simple syrup add a little bit of complexity and sweetness, while the bitters bring more depth. Try using a different flavor of (unsweetened) soda water, like orange, lemon or grapefruit, to unlock new variations.

  • 10 ml fino sherry
  • 10 ml simple syrup
  • 3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

  • 1⅔ Parts Redbreast Lustau
  • ⅓ Parts fino sherry
  • ⅓ Parts simple syrup
  • 3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

  • 1 orange or blood orange wheel (to garnish)

Steps
