Why This Glass
A narrow column of liquid loses bubbles slowly, and a full load of ice keeps the drink cold without watering it down fast.
Tip
Fill it to the top with ice before you pour. More ice means slower melting, not more water.
A Little History
Highball drinks took off around 1900 when soda siphons and bottled mixers became common in American and British bars.
