†Horse's Neck recipe at International Bartenders Association }}
A Horse's Neck is an IBA Official Cocktail. It is made with Brandy (or sometimes rye whisky or bourbon) and ginger ale, with a long spiral of lemon peel draped over the edge of an old fashioned or highball glass.

Origins

Dating back to the 1890s, it was a non-alcoholic mixture of ginger ale, ice and lemon peel. By the 1910s, Brandy, sometimes Bourbon would be added for a 'Horse's Neck with a Kick' or '~ Stiff'. Eventually, the non-alcoholic version became phased out.
