DEWAR’S ORIGINAL HIGHBALL

True story: When Scotsman and whisky distiller Tommy Dewar visited New York City in 1892 and found himself thirsty, a standard “ball”—short glass of whisky—wouldn’t do. A “high” glass was demanded (today’s Collins glass), and so the highball was born. The cocktail that made whisky a social affair, it’s right at home in the city where it was born (although it tastes great anywhere).
