Horse's Neck with a Twist: A Refreshing and Classic Cocktail
The Horse's Neck with a Twist is a classic cocktail that combines the zing of ginger ale with the smoothness of whiskey. This refreshing drink is perfect for those who enjoy a little twist on a traditional favorite.
To make the Horse's Neck with a Twist, you will need a few simple ingredients and a glass filled with ice. Start by pouring 2 ounces of your favorite whiskey into the glass. Then, slowly pour in 4 ounces of ginger ale, allowing it to mix with the whiskey.
Next, take a lemon and cut a long, thin strip of peel. Carefully twist the lemon peel around a cocktail spoon or a similar utensil to create a spiral shape. Place the twisted lemon peel into the glass, letting the ends hang over the edge. This is where the name "Horse's Neck" comes from.
Finally, give the cocktail a gentle stir to combine all the flavors. The ginger ale adds a pleasant fizz, while the whiskey provides a warm, rich taste. The twisted lemon peel adds a pop of citrus flavor and a unique visual appeal.
Once you've finished making your Horse's Neck with a Twist, sit back, relax, and enjoy this classic cocktail. It's a perfect choice for warm summer evenings or any time you're in the mood for a refreshing and slightly twisty libation.
