Alaskan Highball Cocktail Recipe

Some cocktails are complicated. Some require a shaker, a garnish, and a liquor cabinet that rivals a small bar. And then there's the Alaskan Highball. It's a glass of ice water. That's it. No spirits, no mixers, no fancy garnish. Just crisp, refreshing, ice-cold water served with a whole lot of confidence.

From Ice Water to Ice-Cold Soap Inspiration

Our Alaskan Highball goat milk soap takes its inspiration from the frozen beauty of the far north, with icy blue and snowy white colors that bring a little arctic magic to your shower.

Unlike the cocktail, this bar doesn't disappear after a few sips. It's handcrafted goat milk soap designed to bring a little personality to your daily routine.
