ADMIRAL SCHLEY HIGH BALL

ADMIRAL SCHLEY HIGH BALL

This refreshing 1917 highball combines the warmth of Irish whiskey with the rich sweetness of dessert wine like Tokaji or Angelica. Brightened with a splash of pineapple syrup and fresh lemon juice, the cocktail offers a sophisticated balance of fruit and spirit flavors. Topped with sparkling seltzer, it makes for an elegant and effervescent sipper perfect for warm afternoons.

  • 1 cup Ice cubes (Quantity estimated for filling the glass.)
  • 1 teaspoon Pineapple syrup (Originally '1 teaspoonful Pineapple Syrup'.)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (Originally '1 teaspoonful Lemon Juice'.)
  • 1 ounce Irish Whiskey (Originally '2/3 jigger'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 oz, so 2/3 = 1 oz).)
