Winter Highball: Cold Weather, Warm Flavour
When the temperature drops, the drinks get deeper — and the Winter Highball is the perfect example. This cocktail is crisp, clean and full of seasonal charm, with warming notes of spice, citrus and herb all topped with an icy, fizzy finish. It’s comforting without being heavy, fresh but still rich in flavour — your new go-to winter sipper.
The Profile
The Winter Highball leans on classic winter flavours like spiced rum or whisky, paired with citrus peel, earthy herbs, and a bright mixer. It’s an ideal long drink for fireside chats, snowy evenings, or a crisp nightcap that doesn’t weigh you down.
Double Dutch Pairing
Pair it with Double Dutch Spiced Ginger Beer to bring out the warming elements, or go for Cranberry & Ginger for a festive touch. These mixers elevate the flavours without overpowering them, creating a well-balanced winter serve.
When to Enjoy
Perfect for après-ski vibes, holiday dinners, or quiet evenings when you want something a little more complex than a G&T. It’s an excellent transitional cocktail — bold enough to stand alone but smooth enough to sip alongside food.
Serving Tips
- Use clear, solid ice: It melts slowly and looks stunning in a highball glass.
- Garnish with style: Try rosemary sprigs, orange wheels, or cinnamon sticks.
- Build slowly: Layering your ingredients ensures every sip is balanced.
