A highball is a type of alcoholic beverage that is typically made with a base spirit, such as whiskey or vodka, and a carbonated mixer, such as soda water or ginger ale. The drink is usually served in a tall glass over ice, and may be garnished with a slice of lemon or lime. Highballs are known for their simplicity and versatility, as they can be customized to suit a wide variety of tastes and preferences. They can be made with different types of spirits and mixers, and can be adjusted in strength by adding more or less alcohol or mixer. Highballs are also a popular choice for social gatherings, as they are easy to make and can be served in large quantities. The term "highball" is believed to have originated from railroad slang, where a "high ball" was a signal to the engineer to move the train at full speed. The name was later adopted for cocktails that were served quickly and efficiently, without the need for a lot of preparation or fuss.
