A Horses neck is a mixed drink which now consists of American Whisky (Bourbon or American Rye), and Ginger Ale, garnished with the signature "Horse's Neck" Lemon Peel Spiral. Originally the Horse's Neck consisted of just ginger ale and the lemon peel.
The signature "Horse's Neck" Lemon Peel Spiral consists of the complete peel of one lemon pared from the fruit in one continous strip.
A Horse's Neck can also be made with brandy (cognac), though this was originally called a "Horse's Collar".
Historical References
"The Centralia Enterprise And Tribune", 4th December 1897
"The Horse's Neck is a thirst satisfier that is sublime in its simplicity, being made of shaved ice and ginger ale, served in a long glass. A dash of whisky is said not to interfere with the agreeable taste of this drink."
