- Strain lemonade into a thin lemonade glass to within an inch of the top.
- Float half a jigger of whisky over a spoon on the lemonade.
This is a useful border drink because it shows lemonade service merging directly into the floated-whiskey highball world.
The float is the defining act of service here, not mere presentation.
