1934 Cocktail Bill Boothby's World Drinks and how to mix them

HIGHBALLS Highballs, together with other beverages similar in form, come second only to cocktails in importance to the connoisseur. They are, in fact, merely "extended" cocktails—i. e., the first half prepared in the same man ner and the second half made up of any one of a dozen or more "fillers" such as Ginger Ale, Seltzer, White Rock, Lime Rickey, etc., etc. This class of beverage should be served in the Highball glass (6-ounce), Short Highball (4-ounce) or Tall Highball (8-ounce). Each recipe will specify the proper glass to be used. Highballs, even more so than Cocktails, provide the ingenious mixer with room for imagination. Here he or she not only has a choice of the many Liqueurs, Cordials, Bitters, etc.^ but also the further choice of a proper filler. Many pleasant surprises are in store for the experimenter. As with Cocktails the publisher has endeavored to cover the entire field so that the choice of the host shall be from the widest range of beverages, but in all instances specifying only the filler called for in the original recipe.
