"Highball" refers to a few things.
1) the actual cocktail "Highball" - Whiskey and Ginnger Ale
2) the glassware - Highball Glass
3) term for a category of drink (typically prepared in a highball drink, most
often consisting of one liquor and one mixer.
I'm sure there's more history to this term as well.
