What Is A Highball Glass?
A highball glass is a glass tumbler used to serve ‘tall’ cocktails, usually over ice.
Is Piña Colada A Heavy Drink?
Pina coladas are made with light rum, and are sweet and creamy. Thus, they usually mask off the ‘taste’ of alcohol. However, drinking too many Piña Coladas could make you drunk.
