The Proper Cocktail

Highballs

Highballs are cocktails made with liquor and a soda mixer.  Typically, Highballs are served in Tall glasses. 

Moscow Mule

A Moscow mule, also known as a Vodka Buck, is a buck made with a high quality vodka, a spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, garnished with a slice or wedge of lime. It is usually served in a copper mug. The cocktail became popular during the vodka craze in the United States during the 1950s. The name refers to the popular perception of vodka as a Russian product.
