More from the Highball family.
Paloma
Tequila and fresh grapefruit, lengthened with soda. Mexico drinks more of these than Margaritas.
Whisky Highball
Whisky and cold soda over hard ice, built with more care than three ingredients should need. Japan made it a discipline.
Americano
Campari and sweet vermouth under soda — the Negroni's lighter parent. Aperitivo hour in a tall glass.
