Gluten is a protein compound found most commonly in the grains wheat, barley, rye and oats. Wheat and barley are often key ingredients in producing drinks such as beer and in sealing wine casks. Gluten free drinks avoid using such products. To label as gluten free the product must have below 20 parts per million of gluten, which is barley a trace! That means, in comparison to a Highball, the Lowball contains way less filler. It is supposed to be "spirit with a splash of filler". Since this simple, watered-down drink is currently not that fashionable, people tend to forget where the name originates. Torbern Bergman commercialised Priestley's discovery and by the late 1700s, bottled artificial soda waters were competing with natural mineral waters. In 1792, Johann Jacob Schweppe (Schweppes) set up shop in London and in 1807 Henry Thompson received the first British patent for a method of impregnating water with carbon dioxide.

Initially, the most common highball was made with Scotch whisky and carbonated water, [3] known simply as a ' Scotch and soda'. What does mixing whiskey and soda water taste like? In truth: like watered down whiskey. It’s nothing like a Vodka Tonic: the vodka version of a highball that tastes light and citrusy. Here’s a little breakdown on the bubbles to use in a whiskey highball:

Method: Build first six ingredients into a chilled glass, fill with ice and top off Schweppes 1783 Muscovado, stir briefly then serve.

As the name signifies, it's higher than an Old Fashioned glass (also called lowball glass) and a bit wider than the super-slim collins glass.

British coal-fired glass making led to the development of bottles that were strong enough to withstand the high pressure of carbonated drinks and this led to the first sparkling wine being produced in London around 1665 by adding yeast and sugar to imported French wine. (French sparkling wine production did not commence until the end of that century.) This trend in Japan led to many different Highball recipes. Besides haibōru, chūhai(created with shōchū, a traditional Japanese Brandy) is also pretty famous.

The popularity of Scotch & Soda was also helped by the carbonisation of water being heavily industrialised in the 1830s. This also saw the start of the American soda craze with John Matthews of New York and John Lippincott of Philadelphia both starting to manufacture soda fountains in 1832. By the 1850s flavoured bottled carbonated water started to appear with ginger ale first bottled in Ireland. Typically, you chill your liquor and the filler even though the drink comes on ice. This way, the ice will melt slower, and the carbonatation lasts longer. The Highball glass
