History

Originally a non-alcoholic ginger and lemon refresher, Horse’s Neck evolved into a long drink built on brandy or whiskey. Its trademark is the dramatic spiral of lemon peel that curves through the glass, giving the drink its “neck.” Effervescent and gently spicy, it carries an old-club, early‑20th‑century charm for those who enjoy highballs with a touch of theatre.
