Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice, add the Scotch and soda water, top with ginger ale and stir lightly.
  2. Garnish with a lemon slice.

Tip: Fill the glass right to the top with ice so the drink stays cold without watering down fast.

About the Presbyterian

A Scotch highball lengthened with both soda water and ginger ale, which keeps it drier than whisky and ginger alone. The name is usually taken as a nod to the Church of Scotland.
