📜 History

The highball cocktail format — spirit over ice, topped with a carbonated mixer — became popular in the United States and Japan in the early 20th century. The Japanese whisky highball in particular experienced a global resurgence in the 2010s. The non-alcoholic highball followed suit as a natural fit for NA whiskey, since the sparkling mixer adds structure and freshness that compensates for the lighter body of zero-proof alternatives.
