A highball is a category of drink made with one part liquor topped with two parts soda or other mixer.
A highball is always served on the rocks, preferably in a highball glass.
Always serve a highball with a sip stick or straw, and never stir a highball before serving it. This way, the liquor will remain at the bottom of the glass, as some people like to sip the liquor first through the sip stick, followed by the mixer as a chaser. Those who prefer their highballs stirred can stir it themselves before drinking.
