IBA ContemporaryClassic

ホース・ネックはブランデーとジンジャーエールで作られるIBAコンテンポラリークラシックで、リムにかかった劇的な長いレモンピールのスパイラル――ドリンクの名前の由来となった「ネック」――とともにハイボールグラスにサーブされます。ビターズのダッシュが穏やかで炭酸のある組み合わせに芳香の複雑さを加えます。軽くて親しみやすいロングドリンクです。

History & Origins

The Horse's Neck dates to the late 19th century United States, where it began as a non-alcoholic lemonade-and-ginger-ale drink before brandy was added around Prohibition-era adaptations. It gained widespread popularity in the UK Royal Navy, where brandy and ginger ale was a standard mess drink. The IBA recognized it as a Contemporary Classic, cementing its place in modern cocktail culture.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Zesty lemon peel and spicy ginger lead, with a warm brandy undercurrent and a faint bitters spice. Palate: Light and refreshing, the ginger ale's effervescence carries the brandy's fruit-and-oak warmth, with a gentle citrus edge from the peel. Finish: Clean and dry, with a fading ginger heat and soft bitters note.

Pro Tip

Cut a continuous spiral lemon peel and drape it from the rim into the glass before adding ice and ingredients for the classic visual presentation.
