Our second version of the classic highball is this Ginger and Honey Glenmorangie Highball. We used fresh ginger to be shaken together with honey simple syrup, lemon juice, and Glenmorangie The Original, the combination of flavors complements the citric and vanilla notes on this single malt.

It is very easy to make simple syrup, and you can do it in different ways. You need to combine equal parts of water and sweetener, this can be white sugar, brown sugar, or honey. Each one has a different depth of flavor and can be used depending on the type of cocktail you are creating.

For this recipe we chose to use honey, so we used ½ cup of water and ½ cup of honey which we heated in a small pot until it was perfectly combined. Cool it to room temperature, and store it in a glass container for up to one week, in the refrigerator.

When using citrus juices, freshly squeezed is always best. Commercial citrus juices simply do not taste the same as freshly squeezed and they can ruin the taste of your cocktail. Find the recipe for our Glenmorangie Orange Highball here

You can find Glenmorangie The Original, Perrier mineral water at Vinoteca stores.
