Making a Scotch and Soda
Fill a glass with ice. Use a highball or rocks glass. Fill the glass to the brim with ice. Cubed ice generally works best, as it does not melt as fast, preventing the ice from diluting the flavor of the scotch.
Add two ounces of scotch. Measure out your scotch using a shot glass. Shot glasses are usually 1.5 ounces each, so you'll need to use about a shot and a half of scotch for the drink. If you want a stronger or weaker drink, you can add a little more or less scotch to your glass.
Top the glass with soda. Pour a splash of soda on top of the scotch. Use only enough to fill the glass slightly below the brim. A scotch and soda should have a strong, scotch-based taste, so you don't need to use a lot of soda.
Stir your ingredients with a spoon. Take a spoon and stir your drink very briefly. Scotch and sodas do not need to be mixed extensively, so a few circles should be sufficient. As the glass will be very full, stir your drink slowly to avoid spilling.
Garnish with a lime wedge (optional). Cut a lime into quarters. Take one quarter and put it on the rim of your glass as a garnish. For extra flavor, you can also squeeze a small bit of juice from the lime into your scotch and soda.
Making a Scotch and Soda Float
Divide your sorbet between four glasses. Take four chilled highball glass. Divide your sorbet roughly evenly between each glass. You should add two scoops per glass.
Add two ounces of scotch. Each glass should contain two ounces of scotch. Most shot glasses are around 1.5 ounces, so add about a shot and a half of whiskey to each glass.
Add your club soda. Add just a small splash of club soda to the top of each glass. You only need to add enough so that the glass is almost filled to the brim. It's not necessary to stir after adding your soda.
Serve your drinks. Serve your drinks as soon as you prepare them so the ice cream doesn't melt. The drinks should be served with a straw and spoon.
