"As rec teams are safely gathering to play together this summer, the Jim Beam Highball Rec Refresh contest will offer players a fresh start, this summer or whenever they're ready to take the field together," said Sarah Cordova, Jim Beam Senior Brand Manager, North America Marketing. "We all deserve to celebrate being together again with friends who feel like family, whether it's by enjoying a Highball after a big win or feeling fresh with brand new equipment and team uniforms."

Even if teams aren't in need of a refresh, they can still enjoy a refreshing Jim Beam Highball in the hot summer months. The Highball, which is made by mixing chilled Jim Beam Bourbon with ice-cold, highly carbonated ginger ale, is the perfect option for those who are looking for a light and refreshing drink.
