Horse's Neck

The Horse's Neck cocktail is one of the long-drinking cocktails that originated in the US in the late 19th century and became a classic over time. The first versions were originally non-alcoholic and consisted only of ginger ale and lemon peel. Later on, brandy was added to create the current cocktail version. The name of the cocktail comes from the appearance of the long spiral lemon peel placed in the glass, which extends downwards, resembling the neck of a horse. Particularly popular in bar culture in the early 1900s, the Horse's Neck has long been a classic menu item thanks to its simple preparation and refreshing character. Still seen on nostalgic cocktail lists today, this drink is considered a fine example of classic bar tradition with its visual presentation and aromatic balance.
