The next time you feel like "having a drink" or two, we recommend ditching your usual cocktails and soju mixes (which are all delicious but you know, change is good, too!) and try making yourself a highball. What exactly is it? The dictionary defines a highball as "a drink consisting of whiskey and a mixer such as soda or ginger ale, served with ice in a tall glass." Already sounds delicious, right?
Here's everything you need to make a highball:
- Whiskey (We like Jim Beam bourbon!)
- Soda water
- Ice (lots of it!)
- lemon
The smooth bourbon will be enhanced by the zing of the citrus—this classic highball is so simple but *so* refreshing! Another easy twist you can try is to swap the ice cubes with pieces of frozen fruits to give that special flavor to your drink. Yum!

Here's an easy-to-follow video for your reference:
We swear, this drink will be your new favorite! To get you started, we recommend getting yourself a limited edition Jim Beam tin pack exclusively available at S&R for P1,438! Each tin contains two 1L bottles of Jim Beam, and you can use the tin as an ice bucket and the lid as a garnish tray—sulit right? BRB, *literally* adding this special set to our carts on our next grocery trip!

Drink responsibly!
