WHAT DOES LONG DRINK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

long drink

Long drink

A long drink or tall drink is an alcoholic mixed drink with a relatively large volume. This terminology had fallen out of favor over the last decade or two, but is now enjoying a revival. A long drink will have a tall glass full of mixer, in contrast to a short drink which has less mixer. Short drinks are not necessarily “stronger” since both types tend to contain the same amount of alcohol. Long drinks are therefore generally more dilute than short drinks. A classic long drink is a Tom Collins. A simple style of long drink is the highball, a cocktail composed of one liquor and one mixer,. A classic example of the highball is the gin and tonic.
