Horse's Neck
Alcoholic Cocktail Highball Glass 4 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1 long strip Lemon Peel
  • 2 oz Brandy
  • 5 oz Ginger Ale
  • 2 dashes Bitters

Instructions

Place the Lemon Peel spiral in a highball glass and drape one end of it over the rim of the glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the Brandy, Ginger Ale, and Bitters into the glass. Stir well. Cognac can also be used instead of Brandy and it will taste just as nice! Many people also like to use Ginger Beer instead of Ginger Ale for more of a zesty bite.

About Horse's Neck

The Horse's Neck cocktail is a classic and simple mixed drink that features the flavors of bourbon or brandy combined with the zesty and aromatic notes of ginger. The Horse's Neck cocktail is known for its simplicity and the pleasant combination of the spirit with the spicy kick of ginger and the aromatic bitters. The long, spiraled lemon peel adds a visual touch to the drink, and you can express the lemon peel over the drink to release its citrus oils, enhancing the aroma. Adjust the proportions to your liking, as preferences for the strength of the spirit and the sweetness of the ginger ale can vary.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Highball Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
