Hard drinks, potent cocktails, and numerous rounds of beer—do you only fit in when a highball is on the menu? We understand it; highballs have been popular for generations. The term 'highball' is thought to have originated in Ireland, where a 'ball' refers to a tall glass of whisky. It also has roots in 19th-century England, and the name is thought to have originated with railroads.
Highballs are addictive, flavorful, and may be guzzled down while enjoying a variety of bar food. Furthermore, the mixes, flavours, and expertise in producing them are expanding, offering us the ideal period yet for enjoying a basic highball. So, retaining our focus on the diversity accessible in top bars across Singapore, let's select our pick and go! Image Credit: Offtrack Facebook Page

Jigger and Pony
Jigger & Pony, one of the World's Best Bars in 2023, requires no introduction to connoisseurs of the finest spirits and delectable cocktails. Our attention is drawn to their IDENTITY menu and their two highballs, whisky highball and super lemon highball, both produced using the Maewari process, which involves blending Hokkaido water with whisky or lemon for three days. The whisky highball is produced with Suntory Chita Whisky and Yamazaki Distiller's Reserve Whisky, while the Super Lemon Highball is made with Maewari blended lemon water and Suntory World Whisky AO, served with intense lemon jelly.
