Ways To Enjoy A Highball Cocktail

A bourbon Highball is a refreshing cocktail, typically served in a tall, narrow tumbler often referred to as a highball glass. This allows plenty of room for the mixer and ice, as well as showcasing the pale color and effervescence of the soda.

Pairings for a Bourbon Highball Cocktail

For snacks and small-bite pairings for your Highball, consider spicy nuts to complement the rich bourbon, cheeses like gouda or blue cheese for contrast, or caramelized popcorn (great for those with a sweet tooth!) as it pairs well with the sweetness from the ANGEL’S ENVY Bourbon finished in Port wine barrels.

The smell and taste of a Highball Bourbon Cocktail

Refreshing in taste thanks to the soda water combined with the rich sweetness of the bourbon, you will taste notes of maple syrup and vanilla, the strength of which will depend on how much mixer you add to dilute. You should smell the bourbon aroma along with citrus notes from the garnish and fragrance of the mixer.
