There is no fixed ratio of the ingredients: the amount of water can vary according to taste from a splash to several times that of the whisky.[1] The drink can be variously served with or without ice, and sometimes also with a simple garnish such as a citrus twist.
The glassware used can be any of the tumbler type, most commonly either old fashioned or highball glass. The latter, being larger, is used especially when adding ice or a relatively larger quantity of water.
