/Sounds like 'HYE-bol'/
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.
"Mi tío no sale a bailar sin su jaibol. → "My uncle won't hit the dancefloor without his highball."
"Ponme un jaibol de brandy con Sprite. → "Make me a brandy and Sprite highball."
