Awhile back I made a strong #liqueur by soaking about 1.5 cups of frozen #raspberry pieces in a similar amount of cheap #vodka with perhaps 1/2c of granulated cane #sugar, all in a canning jar in my #liquor cabinet.

On this super-hot afternoon I poured two ounces of the lovely red raspberry liqueur into a #highball glass full of #IceCubes and chased it with an ounce or so of #cheap American #whiskey. Topped off the glass with #SparklingWater for an utterly delightful strong #summer #cocktail.

@Babcia54 @rockmastermike @libationlegacy @culturednyc I often want G&Ts to be very big, cold, & weak. So I use a ~pint cold glass & a lot of ice.

A problem: my tonic taste is currently somewhere between mass-market & boutique, so I use both a local tonic syrup & something commercial. (I also need to get more basic normie gins & stop delving into the specialty ones.)

Has Schweppes tonic gotten sweeter during the pandemic? Sure tastes that way to me. #ginAndTonic #cocktail #highball

Did I say I have #dived the #Bouncing #Bombs in #Lock #Striven near #Dunoon twice now? These are *not* the #Dambusters #Upkeep as deployed by #Lancaster #Bombers, but spherical #Highball bombs deployed by #Mosquito. These were the #RAF tools to sink the #Tirpitz. This was my first trip with the Seahorse #Dive Club with Tom. There are only two Highballs on the surface, #Brooklands and the de Havilland Aircraft Museum. This is a true underwater #museum!

The recipe for the Americano appears to have originated in 1861 at Gaspare Campari’s bar in Turin, Italy where it was referred to as the "Milano-Torino".

PREVIEW: HIGHBALL #4
The “hop-forward sci-fi epic” [citation needed!] barrels toward, well, something! From his craft brewery in the fiery heart of a gas giant, the charismatic leader called REKKT plots galactic revolution. His motto: WAGMI! His new recruit: a reluctant HIGHBALL! The stakes: the fate of EARTH CORP! Or maybe just a wicked hangover.

#Australia needs to get Japanese Highballs going this summer. Its booze (whiskey or shochu) with a heap of soda and ice, some lemon, fantastic!
