For Recipe

The classic brandy highball has made its place in cocktail history with its simple enough recipe and a superbly refreshing flavor. Highball is a combination of two words – high which means tall, and ball which is a slang for the word glass, hence indicating that the drink is to be typically served in a tall glass.

There is another tale which is associated with the highball cocktail – in the 19th century, railroads used a raised metal ball (a high ball) as a green signal for the trains. One thing led to another, and this became associated with a cocktail that could be speedily consumed. However, with our Mansion House French Brandy, we suggest that you savour it and relish the cocktail over a lazy afternoon or to unwind after a long day.
