Traditional Liquor Highball Bases Using Ice and Carbonated Water

Practical Ways to Use Rice, Apple, Omija, and Sorghum Distillates

Highballs aren't just for whiskey. When Korean distillates made from rice, sweet potato, apple, omija, or sorghum meet ice and unsweetened carbonated water, the flavors lighten, making them easier to pair with food. However, using too much carbonated water may erase the distinctiveness of the ingredients, and strong sweet mixers can make it hard to notice differences between products.

This list collects eight actual traditional distillates with the perspective of using them as highball bases. It suggests minimal garnishes like citrus peels, apples, and herbs according to the ingredients, regions, and characteristics of the flavors, while also confirming the product names and alcohol contents. Instead of enforcing strict recipes, it guides you to start lightly with a ratio of about 1 part liquor to 3 parts carbonated water and adjust according to your taste.

Rye25 and Tokki Soju White, as well as Mowol In, are suitable for a dry highball that preserves the clean distillate scents of rice and sweet potato. Mungyeong Wind Oak 25 and Chusa Baek 25 convey apple aromas, while Goun Dal Baekja highlights omija, and Dureang 22 connects sorghum flavors with carbonation.

Check each product's recommended storage and label alcohol content, and never drink before driving.
