The Finlay Fizz cocktail is a simple, refreshing beverage served in a highball glass, blending the warmth of whiskey with the effervescence of soda water, lightly sweetened by the rich, autumnal notes of maple syrup. This drink embodies a straightforward composition, offering a tantalizing mix of flavors that can appeal to those who appreciate a fizzy lift to their spirits without overwhelming sweetness.
