What is long drink?

A long drink is a type of mixed alcoholic beverage typically served in a tall glass with ice. It is similar to a cocktail but is usually simpler in terms of ingredients and preparation. Long drinks are often fruit-flavored and refreshing, making them popular choices for summer or outdoor gatherings.

The most common types of long drinks include gin and tonic, rum and coke, vodka soda, and whiskey highball. These drinks are usually made by combining a base spirit with a non-alcoholic mixer and served over ice.

Long drinks can be customized by adding additional flavors or garnishes such as fruit slices, herbs, or bitters. They are easy to make at home and are a versatile option for those who prefer a lighter and more casual cocktail experience.
