Head Bartender Amanda Lee at Lindens in Soho has created a refreshing highball with effervescence. A cocktail that is altered depending on the guest’s preference, the Apple Shiso Highball is made with house-made apple shiso soda and is available with Belvedere Vodka, Herradura Reposado Tequila, or Woodinville Bourbon.
“Our Apple Shiso Highball features classic apple flavors with an unexpected hint of shiso. The shiso is an herb in the mint family that has an earthiness that adds great balance to this seasonal highball,” said Lee.
