Autumn Orchard Highball
About
The Autumn Orchard Highball is what fall tastes like - crisp, clean, and just the right amount of sweet. Ocean Spray Cran-Apple juice gives you that tart-meets-juicy balance, while vodka keeps things smooth and understated. The splash of club soda adds a playful sparkle that feels like a cool breeze through apple trees.
It’s an easy, no-fuss cocktail that’s perfect for early evenings, brunches, or those “one more round before we head out” moments. Light, refreshing, and seasonally spot-on, this is your go-to fall sipper.
Shaken or Stirred? Stirred. Highballs are built for ease - just pour, stir gently, and let the bubbles do the talking.
