Review

Borrowing its name from both BA High Life magazine and the highball glass it is served in, this refreshing long drink combines the botanical complexity of gin with honeyed elderflower liqueur balanced by white wine acidity.

At the risk of insulting the master himself, I found the elderflower a bit overpowering. I enjoyed this more after cutting it back to 1 fl oz (or even a tad less). Cheers.
