The Horse's Neck
The "Horse's Neck" is a classic cocktail that gained popularity in the United States in the late 1800s. Its name originates from its distinctive garnish, a long lemon peel draped over the rim of the glass, reminiscent of a horse's neck. Originally, the Horse's Neck was served as a non-alcoholic beverage, consisting of Ginger Ale and lemon peel. Later on, Cognac and bitters were added to give the drink more depth and complexity. The "Horse's Neck" was especially popular in the 1920s and 30s in the USA and was often served in bars and clubs. It was also a favorite among Hollywood stars, who enjoyed it at parties and events. Today, the "Horse's Neck" is still served in many bars and restaurants worldwide and is considered a classic among Cognac cocktails. Its refreshing taste and stylish garnish make it a favored drink for various occasions.
