Horse's Neck
A horse's neck is an American cocktail recognised by the IBA, identifiably sporting a long, curling strip of lemon rind. Mixture 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 glass or a highball glass. A similar Canadian drink, the rye and ginger, is made with Canadian whisky and ginger ale. History Dating back to the 1890s, it was a non-alcoholic mixture of ginger ale, ice and lemon peel. By the 1910s, brandy, or bourbon would be added for a "horse's neck with a kick" or a "stiff horse's neck". The non-alcoholic version was still served in upstate New York in the late 1950s and early 60s, but eventually it was phased out. Cultural impact In the 1934 film ''The Captain Hates the Sea'', Alison Skipworth's character craves a horse's neck, when Fred Keating's character tries to stop her, she says, "...I'm a lone wolf and it's my night to howl" then tells the waiter "...be sure to add a bi ...
