Instructions

    The Art of the Japanese Highball
  • Very slowly, pour over 40ml of Suntory Kakubin Whisky
  • Next, tilt the glass to 45 degrees and gently pour in 120ml of Soda Water. Don't just dump it in because it will result in a loss of carbonation
  • Finally, take half a slice of Lemon and squeeze it to release a few drops of Lemon Juice into the drink. Then, drop the slice into the glass and give the whole thing a gentle stir
  • Do not insult this elegant drink by adding a straw, and drink at your leisure
