From the Bartender

Named for the American actress Mamie Taylor, who reportedly asked for something long and cold on a boating trip in upstate New York in 1899. It became a national craze — and then a template that the Moscow Mule and the Dark 'n' Stormy both quietly borrowed.

Irish Buck

Irish Whiskey

Irish Buck

Soft orchard fruit and light grain from the whiskey with lime doing most of the structural work, the ginger ale sweeter and gentler than ginger beer would be.

Horsefeather

Rye Whiskey

Horsefeather

Ginger heat and rye pepper arriving at the same time, with the lemon keeping it tight and the Angostura adding a clove-and-bark note across the top.

Cognac

Cocktail Horse's Neck

Warming cognac mingles with fiery ginger beer and a whisper of aromatic bitters, lifted by fragrant citrus oils from the lemon spiral. The finish is effervescent and refreshing with lingering notes of oak, vanilla, and peppery ginger heat.

Presbyterian

Bourbon Whiskey

Presbyterian

Half the sweetness of a whiskey-ginger with all of the spice, the soda thinning it into something genuinely refreshing rather than merely mixed.
