Hello, this is a drunk story! Today, I will introduce 'Highball' which is very familiar to people who like alcohol. When people mention 'highball', they often think of Japanese Suntory whiskey, but how different is it when using regular whiskey and Suntory highball? Today, I'm going to share with you the results of all this experience! Then, shall we go together with a happy heart?

 

It doesn't have to be Suntory!

1. Story

A highball is a type of whiskey-based cocktail, usually made by pouring a certain amount of spirit (mainly whiskey) into a glass filled with ice, and then pouring carbonated water or other beverages over it. Adding a lemon or lime to this to add a fresh taste is the popular highball today. The method of drinking high alcohol whiskey (usually Scotch whiskey) with soda was first popular among the upper class in England in the 19th century. It became a big trend in the United States when it was brought to the United States and served in tall glasses all day long in train dining cars, and bartenders began to call this type of cocktail a 'highball'. In other words, the name 'highball' was a slang used among bartenders.

When people think of 'highball', they think of cocktails made with 'Suntory Whiskey'. Whiskey in the shape of a glass bottle like a tortoise shell? But when I drank it myself, it was hard to feel a huge difference. To tell the difference, Suntory whiskey has less body. In a bad way, it has less flavor, and in a good way, it can be said that it is light. The alcohol content is 40 degrees, the same as regular whiskey.

 I think it would be more accurate to say that the amount of lemon juice rather than whiskey determines the taste. If you want to savor the flavor of whiskey but are too toxic, you can adjust the amount of tonic water and lemon juice to try this cocktail. Although 3/2oz of whiskey is added, it is not difficult to drink because it contains a lot of tonic water. This cocktail is recommended for those who want a cool drink on a fresh summer day rather than winter, but also not light at all. There are many types of lemon juice on the market, but I recommend 'Lazy Lemon Juice'. It is not burdensome because the amount is just right, and the sour taste is strong, so you can enjoy the lemon flavor without adding too much. If any of these cocktails hit your palate and there's 'Bourbon Whiskey' in the bar, I'm sure the next choice will be 'Mint Julep'!

6. Tips

After adding carbonated water, stir gently as usual. If you stir it, the carbonic acid will scorch and the pleasure of drinking will be halved!

 

Lemon slices have a strong taste. In other words, adding one slice does not taste as lemony as you might think. For real lemon flavor, squeeze lemon juice or add lemon juice as mentioned above.

 

Carbonated water and tonic water both have in common that they contain carbonic acid. However, carbonated water is just water added with carbonic acid, and tonic water is different in that it has a cider-like taste with added sugars. It is suitable if you think of slightly purified cider.
