Hello High Ball

Chances are you’re already a pro at making high ball cocktails. They’re extremely easy and the most common drinks you can order anywhere with a bar. High balls are simply a spirit and soda or tonic. High balls can be delicious and the go to drink for when you host a party or hit the bar with friends. High Balls are classics like Gin & Tonic, Jameson & Ginger Ale, and my worst enemy- the Vodka Soda.

If you would like to join my crusade in killing the Vodka Soda, here are three slightly fancy high balls that you can serve at your next happy hour or backyard barbecue!
