Every aspiring professional bartender should put this easy highball on their list of drinks to memorize. It is, quite simply, whiskey and ginger ale and is a fantastic, refreshing way to enjoy any style of whiskey you choose. Rye, Canadian, or bourbon whiskies work very well.

You may find some Highball recipes that use soda water, but ginger ale is the most mixer.

This mixed drink should not be confused with the class of drinks called "highballs." Those include most tall drinks with a base spirit and one or two non-alcoholic mixers. Not to be too confusing, a Highball is a "highball" and is served in a highball glass.
