Horse’s Neck
_____________
A Horse’s Neck is an American cocktail recognised by the IBA, identifiably sporting a long, curling strip of lemon rind.[1] It is made with brandy (or sometimes bourbon) and ginger ale, with a long spiral of lemon peel draped over the edge of an ‘old-fashioned’ or highball glass. When made with Ale-8-One and Maker’s Mark this drink is commonly referred to as a Kentucky Gentleman.[citation needed] A similar Canadian drink, the rye & ginger, is made with Canadian whisky and ginger ale.
