A simple but satisfying cocktail, the whiskey highball. Only needing three ingredients—whiskey, soda water or ginger ale, and a few ice cubes—the effervescent drink is classic in its preparation and its complexity. If this whiskey cocktail is your drink of choice, then this week-long celebration is made for you.
Following a successful first year, The House of Suntory proudly announces the return of Toki Highball Week. From June 2-8, the ode to the classic cocktail will take place in five U.S. cities: New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia. Four bars across the city are joining in on the festivities, each housing the Toki Highball Machine that brings precision and consistency to each pour. Participating bars include two Japanese-style bars: Greenwich Village's award-winning, bi-level cocktail bar, Katana Kitten, and Murray Hill's Japanese izakaya, Wokuni. Soho neighborhood cocktail bar, Soso’s is getting in on the fun, as is Port Sa’id, Hudson Square's hi-fi listening lounge. All you have to do is plan a visit, order a highball and sip into the tradition of Tokyo.
