Cocktail History

Nemiroff Holiday Highball is a signature cocktail based on the Nemiroff premium series, with honey and pepper, combining tradition and modernity. Highball, as a category, originated in the 1890s as an elegant blend of strong alcohol and light ingredients. Its popularity grew thanks to its lightness and freshness, and it became an ideal drink for daytime gatherings.

Surprisingly enough, it all started with soda, which English nobles mixed with brandy. From Europe, highball spread to Asia, where it became the main refreshment drink for 60 years.

Food Pairing

Holiday Highball cocktail on vodka perfectly complements poultry dishes, spicy snacks or desserts with ginger and honey. Its fresh taste is in perfect harmony with light salads or cheeses, creating a balance between spiciness and tenderness.

The Holiday Highball recipe is a part of the signature cocktail collection by Nemiroff, making it a special choice for connoisseurs of fine drinks.
