Serves:
1
  • Johnnie Walker Black Label (or any whisky of choice)
    25ml
  • Soda
    75ml
  • Lime wedge
    for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Method

  1. Step 1

    In a tall glass filled with ice cubes, add in the whisky.

  2. Step 2

    Top up with soda as per preference and garnish with a wedge of lime to serve chilled.

Tips & Suggestions

FAQs

Known as a highball or haibōru in Japanese culture, the term is synonymous with a whisky and soda served on ice.

Typically, any unsweetened soda or carbonated water is the go-to mixer for those who prefer to drink their whisky slightly diluted.

The bubbly, effervescent texture of soda water makes whisky lighter on the palate as well as highlight flavours of the spirit – especially those with more body.
