Highballs have been around as long as soda and spirits have existed, and while they are often associated with Japanese whisky + soda water, highballs can be made with almost any spirit. The combinations are truly endless! At Yardbird and RŌNIN, some of our favorite highballs include the Hunterhi, made with Fernet Hunter, the Chu Hi, made with shochu and grapefruit juice, and the Rockfish, made with our very own Sunday’s NAS Malt & Grain Whisky. Check out some of our favorite highball recipes below that you can easily make at home!
