QUÉ SIGNIFICA HIGHBALL EN INGLÉS

Whisky soda

Highball

Highball es el nombre de una familia de bebidas mezcladas que se componen de un alcohol base alcohólica y una mayor proporción de un mezclador sin alcohol. Originalmente, el highball más común fue hecho con whisky escocés y agua carbonatada, que hoy se llama "Scotch and Soda". Hay muchos rivales por la fama de mezclar el primer highball, incluyendo la Casa Adams en Boston. El barman de Nueva York Patrick Duffy afirmó que el highball fue traído a los Estados Unidos en 1894 de Inglaterra por el actor E. J. Ratcliffe. El diccionario en línea de la etimología sugiere que el nombre se originó alrededor de 1898 y probablemente deriva de bola significando una "bebida de whisky" y alta porque se sirve en un vaso alto. El nombre puede referirse a la práctica de servir bebidas en los vagones de los trenes alimentados por locomotoras de vapor, cuando el motor se levantaba a la velocidad y la bola que mostraba la presión de la caldera estaba en su alto nivel, conocido como "highballing". O el nombre puede haber venido de la señal del ferrocarril que significa "pista clara adelante". Ejemplos conocidos de highballs incluyen Bourbon y Agua, Cuba Libre, Scotch y Soda, Siete y Siete, la Mula de Moscú, y ginebra y tónico.

Highball is the name for a family of mixed drinks that are composed of an alcoholic base spirit and a larger proportion of a non-alcoholic mixer. Originally, the most common highball was made with Scotch whisky and carbonated water, which is today called a "Scotch and Soda". There are many rivals for the fame of mixing the first highball, including the Adams House in Boston. New York barman Patrick Duffy claimed the highball was brought to the U.S. in 1894 from England by actor E. J. Ratcliffe. The Online Etymology Dictionary suggests that the name originated around 1898 and probably derives from ball meaning a "drink of whiskey" and high because it is served in a tall glass. The name may refer to the practice of serving drinks in the dining cars of trains powered by steam locomotives, when the engine would get up to speed and the ball that showed boiler pressure was at its high level, known as "highballing". Or the name may have come from the railroad signal meaning "clear track ahead". Well-known examples of highballs include Bourbon and Water, Cuba Libre, Scotch and Soda, Seven and Seven, the Moscow Mule, and gin and tonic.
