Horse's Neck
🥃 Serve in: Highball Glass
A long spiral of lemon peel gets draped over the rim here -- meant to hang down like a horse's neck, which is exactly where the name comes from -- while brandy, ginger ale, and a dash of bitters fill the glass underneath. Easy-drinking and lightly spiced, it dates back to the late 1800s and remains a solid, unfussy choice for brandy drinkers who want something long and refreshing.
