Yes, regular brandy works, but apple brandy adds fruity depth that defines this cocktail. Adjust to taste if substituting.
Ginger ale adds spice and sweetness; club soda keeps it clean and spirit-forward. Choose based on your preference for flavor intensity.
A highball glass (10–12 oz) is traditional. It's tall enough to accommodate ice and the two-to-one spirit-to-mixer ratio.
Fill the glass with fresh ice before pouring to keep the drink cold and properly diluted.
No—highballs are best served immediately after mixing to preserve carbonation and chill.
