long drinks

Diluted mixed beverages

Long drinks are cocktails or mixed drinks served in tall glasses with a higher proportion of mixer to alcohol, designed for leisurely sipping rather than quick consumption.

The category includes highballs, collinses, and fizzes: I'll have a gin and tonic or some other long drink.

Contrasts with short drinks or shots.
