Do you know how to make a lemon highball?

Cocktail Colin says:
When it comes to crafting a delightful Lemon Highball, the options are plentiful, but none is specifically listed in the provided cocktail details. However, several of the cocktails that were found involve similar concepts that might inspire your Lemon Highball. For instance, the "Lemon Lift Off" and the "Lemon Lime And Bitters" both share lemon as a key ingredient, providing refreshing options that might influence your Lemon Highball recipe.
Given these inspirations, I would recommend a simple recipe for a Lemon Highball:
Ingredients:
- 30ml Whiskey
- Top up with Lemonade
Instructions:
- Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Add the whiskey to the glass.
- Top up with lemonade.
- Gently stir to mix the ingredients.
- Garnish with a lemon wedge or slice, if desired.
The Scotch Whisky Highball, another top-rated classic cocktail, is a good reference point for its simplicity and elegance, though it uses soda water instead of lemonade. This basic mix of whiskey and soda water, adjusted by swapping soda water with lemonade, captures the essence of a Lemon Highball—a refreshing, straightforward beverage with a delightful citrus twist.
Feel free to experiment with the proportions to suit your taste, and perhaps even try adding a dash of ginger ale or bitters for an extra layer of complexity. Cheers!
