Scotch and Soda is a popular mixed drink made by combining Scotch whisky with soda water. The drink is typically served over ice in a highball glass and can be garnished with a lemon twist or slice. The soda water helps to mellow the strong flavors of the Scotch, making it a refreshing choice for many whisky enthusiasts. The origins of Scotch whisky date back to the 15th century in Scotland, where it has become a significant part of the country's culture and heritage. Soda water, a carbonated beverage, enhances the drink's effervescence and can be adjusted to taste, allowing for a personalized experience.
