El English Highball es una clásica bebida larga que combina brandy, gin y vermut dulce coronados con agua carbonatada y guarnecidos con una espiral de limón. Es un highball con protagonismo del destilado que combina la riqueza del brandy, el carácter botánico del gin y la dulzura herbal del vermut en un formato refrescante y efervescente. La bebida refleja la tradición británica de las bebidas mixtas largas.
History & Origins
The highball format — spirit topped with a carbonated mixer in a tall glass — became widely popular in Britain and America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The English Highball as a specific three-spirit build appears in classic bartending literature of the early 1900s. Its precise authorship is disputed and unrecorded.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: brandy grape and oak, juniper from the gin, and herbal sweet vermouth with a bright carbonated lift. Palate: medium-bodied and complex with grape, botanical, and herbal notes intertwined and lightened by the soda water. Finish: dry, slightly bitter, and refreshing with a citrus twist from the lemon peel.
Pro Tip
Pour over ice in a highball glass and top with high-quality carbonated water just before serving, then garnish with a lemon peel twist expressed over the glass to release the citrus oils.
