WHISKY AND ORANGE:
WHY IT WORKS
Whisky’s honeyed sweetness, gentle spice, and malty richness pair flawlessly with orange’s bright acidity. Variations like blood orange introduce rich colour and tangy depth, while fresh orange juice adds a lively, sweet twist, transforming the classic whisky and orange pairing into an extraordinary experience.
WHY IS IT CALLED
A WHISKY HIGHBALL?
The name has two origins. Ball was bartender slang for glass, and this drink demands a tall one. The railway story runs deeper: at maximum speed, the ball indicator sat highest in the tank, signalled by two short whistle blows and one long. Two shots of whisky, one long pour of soda.
