Elite Bartending ExamHighball - ANSWER Highball glass, filled with ice
1oz. Bourbon/whiskey
Fill with ginger ale
The highball is served in a highball glass, but that goes without saying. Mixing the
drink into an old-fashioned glass makes it a lowball. "Build" the drink in the glass by
slowly adding ingredients one at a time.
Bourbon whiskey vs whiskey - ANSWER Bourbon whiskey is made from a mash
consisting of at least 51% corn, and can only be called bourbon if it is made in the
United States. Bourbon can be no more than 62.5% alcohol when it is placed inside
wooden casks to age. Unlike Scotch, or Irish whiskey, bourbon has no minimum age
requirement, but must be aged for at least two years to be called "straight bourbon."
Difference between rye and bourbon - ANSWER The flavor differences between rye
and bourbon boil down to their main ingredients. The corn mash used in bourbon
makes for a sweet and full-bodied flavor, while the rye mash in rye whiskey creates
spicy tones and a drier taste.
