The Heather & Honey Highball
Description
This elegant highball is designed to honour Scotch whisky without overwhelming the evening. Light, aromatic and gently sweetened, it allows the character of the whisky to shine while remaining refreshing enough to accompany conversation, poetry and a full Burns Night Supper.
Inspired by classic whisky serves rather than modern mixology, this cocktail balances warmth and brightness. Agave Nectar (or maple) softens the whisky’s edge, fresh lemon lifts the drink, and chilled soda keeps everything light. It’s ideal both as a welcoming drink and as a final toast to Rabbie Burns.

- 10 ml fresh lemon juice
- 100 ml chilled soda water
