More from the Highball family.
Moscow Mule
Vodka, lime, and ginger beer in a copper mug cold enough to hurt. A marketing stunt that earned its permanence.
Paloma
Tequila and fresh grapefruit, lengthened with soda. Mexico drinks more of these than Margaritas.
Pimm's Cup
Pimm's No. 1 lengthened with sparkling lemonade and packed with cucumber and summer fruit. Gentle, bittersweet, and meant for a long afternoon.
Poured in Asheville
