Which drink is described as containing scotch and soda?

• A. Madras
• B. Cape Cod
• C. Sea Breeze
• D. Bay Breeze

Answer: (A)

The concept here is recognizing the base spirit in a highball and how it’s described. Scotch and soda is simply a highball made with scotch whisky topped with soda water, served over ice. The drinks listed are all vodka-based highballs, not scotch-based: Cape Cod is vodka with cranberry, Sea Breeze adds grapefruit, Bay Breeze adds pineapple, and Madras adds cranberry with orange. Because none of these use scotch, none of them are described as containing scotch and soda. The drink that literally matches that description is Scotch and soda (whisky and soda), not any of the options given.
