I have had highballs on my mind lately. From some delicious drinks on the menus of some of Malaysia’s finest bars, to a couple of highball-centric events, this cocktail style is really starting to bubble up to the surface here.

What is a highball though? Well, it is essentially a drink served in a tall glass with spirits, ice and mixers (usually carbonated ones like soda, cola, ginger ale/beer, or tonic water.)
