Horse's Neck with a Kick

Cocktail Description

The Horse's Neck with a Kick combines the bold character of Buffalo Trace with the snap of ginger ale for a refreshing whiskey highball that's both sophisticated and approachable.

This simple three-ingredient cocktail delivers a delightful balance of warm bourbon notes, aromatic bitters, and zesty ginger spice, all brightened by the fresh oils from the lemon peel garnish. The flavor profile walks a perfect line between sweet and spicy, with the bourbon's caramel and vanilla notes complemented by the ginger ale's effervescence. It's remarkably easy to prepare—just pour and stir—making it ideal for casual gatherings, backyard barbecues, or when you want something satisfying without fuss. The Horse's Neck with a Kick pairs wonderfully with smoky barbecue dishes, spicy chicken wings, or even rich chocolate desserts, as the ginger helps cleanse the palate between bites. Consider this your go-to when you need a crowd-pleasing whiskey drink that won't keep you stuck behind the bar all night.
