Making an AUTHENTIC Japanese Whisky Highball (ウィスキーハイボール) | In The Drink

Every English-speaking article, video, and tutorial about Japanese whisky highballs, is WRONG! Not intentionally, though, I'm sure... No, I am here to debunk a bit of an information feedback loop that we Westerners / English-speaking peoples seem to have gotten ourselves into regarding this classic Japanese cocktail.

The bogus ritual you've seen floating around the internet regarding this drink is just that, bogus! So what we will find out here today, is the real, authentic method behind this drink, looking at actual Japanese bartenders as our main source of information.

Recipe:
35ml whisky of choice (consider Suntory or Nikka brand).
105ml - 140ml high quality soda water.
mix over high quality ice.
Enjoy!

Got a new 4k camera too. Enjoy it!
