  My favorite Hi Ball of all Time is Vernor's(an obscure, potent ginger all type soda) and whiskey. Two powerful flavors that manage to keep their potency while still blending very well.
  
  *As a general rule for all of these Using a 12oz glass, I would pour 1.5 oz of liquor with 4.5oz soda directly over ice- stir gently. Drink with a full sized straw. Garnish with lime, orange, cherry, or lemon as appropriate.* (The straw may seem unimportant, but in fact it creates a different experience than a sip straw or no straw)
  
  If you're into sweet things I recommend Tuaca and Cream Soda (Jones' is my favorite for this). Tuaca is 80 proof and is sort of a Vanilla and Orange Liquor with butterscotch after notes. It's sweetness blends well into soda(also Vernor's as above, coke, orange soda, etc..) and very efficiently hides the alcohol.
  
  **Some traditional Hi-Balls:**
  
  Vodka with Soda Water and Lime: Descriptive words: Strong, simple, skinny, diet, crisp
  
  Spiced Rum and Coke- Quite different from a cuba libre. Descriptive words: Sweet, easy, deceptive, spiced, flavorful
  
  Vodka and Tonic and Lime: Descriptive words: Strong, simple, skinny, diet, potent, blunt, Quinine
  
  Jack Daniels and Ginger: Descriptive words: Sweet, Bright, Easy, Traditional
