/Sounds like "hye" (as in "hi") + "BOHL" (as in "boat")/
A highball drink, whisky or brandy mixed with soda, the cocktail of choice for Mexicans who want to look like they're sipping something sophisticated. Jaibol (from 'highball') is a staple at family gatherings and quinceañeras everywhere someone's dad is nursing a glass by the speaker.
“My uncle won't hit the dancefloor without his highball.”
“Make me a brandy and Sprite highball.”
