A highball or “tall drink" is based on a simple cocktail formula consisting of 3 parts sparkling mixer and 1 part spirit. The Gin and Tonic (often abbreviated to G&T), Vodka Tonic and Moscow Mule are classic highball cocktails you may be familiar with.
Top Note Sparkling Mixers can help make your at-home classic highball cocktails a simple yet refined experience. Get started with these easy two-ingredient recipes:

Rum & Tonic may not be as well-known as some other classic highballs, but this underdog is surprisingly delicious and can be enjoyed in a multitude of combinations.
Citrus & Honey Vodka Club
This simple and bright riff on the classic Vodka Club is super refreshing in the summer heat.
Tequila & Tonic
A simple way to enjoy tequila without the calories of margarita.

Simple and delicious!
