How to Make the Whisky & Ginger Highball

The Whisky and Ginger Highball is one of the simplest mixed drinks, but it has a long history tied to the rise of highballs in the late nineteenth century. It remains one of the most popular ways to enjoy whisky.

With whiskey and ginger ale, it is light, slightly spicy, and very easy to drink. The balance is straightforward but effective. It is a drink that works in almost any setting.
