Which cocktail is prepared with a Highball glass and a rolling technique?

• A. Mimosa
• B. Dark & Stormy
• C. Bloody Mary
• D. Negroni

Answer: (C)

Highball drinks are built over ice in a tall glass, and the rolling technique is a gentle way to mix ingredients without vigorous shaking. Bloody Mary is traditionally assembled directly in a Highball glass: ice, vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and seasonings are combined and then rolled or lightly stirred to blend the flavors evenly. This method suits its non-carbonated base, ensuring a consistent flavor throughout the drink.

Mimosa is typically served in a champagne flute, so the Highball requirement isn’t met. Dark & Stormy is indeed a tall-glass drink, but it’s usually built by pouring over ice and giving a light stir rather than a rolling mix. Negroni is prepared in a mixing glass and strained into a glass, not rolled in a Highball.
