Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Add scotch and top with soda water.
  3. Stir briefly and serve.

Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.

About the Scotch & Soda

Soda water was invented in 1767 by Joseph Priestley, who dissolved carbon dioxide from the vats of a Leeds brewery in water.
