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.
