Keep pouring
More from the Highball family.
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.
Ranch Water
Blanco tequila, a hard squeeze of lime, and sparkling mineral water. Dry, salty-edged, and built for heat.
