More Highballs & Fizzes
- Alabama Slammer — Amaretto, Southern Comfort and sloe gin stirred over ice with a splash of lemon: sweet, fruity and nutty, a college-bar favorite.
- Bloody Mary — Vodka, tomato and lemon, seasoned to taste with Worcestershire, Tabasco, celery salt and pepper. Savory and spicy.
- Blue Lagoon — Vodka, blue curaçao and lime topped with lemon-lime soda: electric blue, sweet-tart and fizzy.
- Fernandito — Fernet-Branca and cola over ice. Bitter, minty and easier to drink than it sounds.
- Fuzzy Navel — Peach schnapps and orange juice over ice: the drink that sold peach schnapps in the 1980s.
- Gin and Tonic — Gin and tonic water over plenty of ice with a wedge of lime: bitter, bracing and the most-ordered gin drink there is.
