Refreshing Strong

O English Highball é um clássico long drink que combina conhaque, gin e vermouth doce coberto com água carbonatada e guarnecido com casca de limão. É um highball espirituoso que camada a riqueza do conhaque, o caráter botânico do gin e a doçura herbal do vermouth num formato refrescante e efervescente. A bebida reflete a tradição britânica das bebidas longas misturadas.

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.
