The Forgotten 1908 Cocktail That Beats the Highball

Forgotten Highballs: The Rise and Fall of the 1900s Cablegram Before the Tiki era began, the highball was king. Today we're reviving the "Cablegram," a pre-prohibition classic from 1908 that was given a second life at The Varnish in LA. We’re swapping out the old-school ginger ale for the Fiery Ginger Syrup from Liber & Co. and a 100-proof Straight Rye to see if this "forgotten" highball still holds up in the modern era.
