History

A "High Tide" is a simple alcoholic drink originating from Southern California. It was developed by beer drinkers who wanted a lower carb option with a similar ABV% to beer, but not the sweetness of a commercial seltzer. Unlike most cocktails, a High Tide is served specifically in a beer glass (Pint, Tumbler, Mug) and not in a "tall" cocktail glass.

Recipe for a "High Tide"

• 2 oz Vodka
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 12 oz Club Soda
• Garnish: Salt Rim and Lime Wedge
• Served in a Pint glass or 160z tumbler

Instructions

1. Prepare Glass: Use lime juice from a wedge or bowl around tthe glass rim and dip into Kosher Salt
2. Add ice to glass
3. Mix: add Vodka and lime juice. Top with Club soda
4. Stir and add either Lime wedge or wheel to rim

ABV %

A High Tide will have a roughly similar ABV to beer, and this recipe will result in around 4.4% ABV. Some increase the Vodka to 3oz, which increases the ABV%
