Highballs

Highballs were one of the first drinks created, originating as a railway term, by actually placing a ball on the end of a high stick as a signal to an oncoming train, the "highball" gave the workers time to go grab a quick one, knowing the track was clear. That drink was usually a Whiskey and Ginger.

Today there are literally thousands of these drinks. While the term itself is not as popular as it once was, today these drinks are usually referred to as mixed drinks, the recipe is the same. 1 oz of liquor in a 8 oz. glass with ice and fill with mix.

In most cases, the bartender will know the ingredients of the drink by name. Such as a Vodka and Tonic, or Rum and Coke. However there are drinks that are not so obvious such as the Madras or Seabreeze.
