What is a "short"?
A short is a type of alcoholic drink made from a spirit, a mixer, and a garnish. It is usually served in a short glass, such as a rocks glass or a highball glass. A short typically consists of a spirit, such as vodka, gin, rum, or whiskey, a mixer, such as soda water, tonic water, or juice, and a garnish, such as a lime wedge or an orange slice. A short is usually served chilled or over ice, and is popular in many countries around the world. It can also be used to make a variety of cocktails, such as the Moscow Mule, the Gin and Tonic, and the Whiskey Sour.
