Refreshing Strong

English Highball是一款经典长饮，将brandy、gin和sweet vermouth结合，加入苏打水并以柠檬皮装饰。这是一款以烈酒为主的highball，将brandy的丰富感、gin的植物特性和vermouth的草本甜味层叠在清爽的气泡格式中。这款饮品反映了英国长混合饮品的传统。

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.
