However, not everyone thinks you should use this glass for champagne. Thus proving the old saying that simplicity is a sign of perfection. Every detail, from the temperature of the ice, to the type of water used to make the club soda is paid special attention and part of this demanding ritual is serving it in the proper glass. Originally a mixture of whiskey and ginger ale and named after a signal that let railroad engineers know that the way was all clear ahead (according to Leaf), more recently, starting in Japan, perfectionist bartenders have sought to take this simple formula to the heights of erudite sophistication. Highballs aren't only another name for the glass, they're also a very simple combination of a spirit and a mixer. The most famous of these drinks is the storied Ramos Gin Fizz from New Orleans, a delicious mix of gin, citrus, cream, egg whites, and aromatic orange flower water. Another class of drinks, called fizzes which are extra frothy and fizzy are at their best served in a glass like this one. Associated with the Tom Collins cocktail - a refreshing mix of gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and soda water - this is a perfect glass in which to serve a bubbly drink over ice.
