The key to a Horse's Neck is the lemon peel which hangs off the rim of the glass and resembles the neck of a horse hanging into the drink. Sometimes brandy is used instead of bourbon or it can served as a mocktail, which is what I believe was its original intention. For that simply skip the liquor and you'll have a fancy ginger ale.
Ingredients:
- spiral lemon peel
- 2 oz bourbon
- 8 oz Ginger ale
- 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters (optional)
Preparation:
- Place the spiral lemon peel into a collins glass.
- Secure one end of the peel over the lip of the glass.
- Add ice cubes to the glass.
- Pour in the bourbon and ginger ale.
- Add a dash of bitters, if desired.
- Stir well.
