The story behind Țuică Highball
Țuică, Romania’s plum spirit, provides both the fruit aroma and the local identity of this highball. Lemon, honey and soda make it lighter and longer, fitting the relaxed hour before an evening meal.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
