Japanese whisky, Junmai Saké , Génépy , Cocchi Americano , and spiced plum bitters complete Highball’s carefully-crafted Careful Whisper cocktail. Available year round, the Careful Whisper has light, floral notes, a hint of citrus, soft stone fruit, and baking spice, Highball manager Rich Kowalczyk says. “The delicate nature of these spirits required careful consideration when deciding what to pair them with,” said Kowalczyk. “Everything is in equal parts, with just a whisper of plum bitters to tie them all together.” The drink was created in the fall of 2024, and was greatly inspired by the flavors of Japanese whisky and saké rice wine, he adds. “The world of Japanese spirits is relatively unexplored in cocktail culture, even more so here in smaller markets,” revealed Kowalczyk. “There’s quite literally nothing like it.” Kowalczyk believes Highball will continue to influence cocktail culture in Sioux Falls through consistent education and cutting edge inspiration from the industry worldwide. The sparks of global innovation that went into the Careful Whisper is indicative of the bar's explorative process when it comes to cocktails. “We're always testing new flavors, so feel free to strike up a conversation with us,” he added “We’d love to show you what we’re working on.” Kowalczyk reveals the process of cocktail creation is regarded highly at Highball, with expectations “above the cut.” “We don’t take ourselves too seriously at Highball, except for cocktail creation,” he said. “We really do put everything we have into our rotating menus—love, creativity, and unique flavors.”
