DOW: Horse's Collar

We were happy to get back to another classic cocktail, the Horse's Collar. A variation of the Horse's Neck, which is made with whisky, this drink calls for brandy. The lemon spiral is supposed to hang over the edge of the glass, but our "horse" was feeling a little shy.

• 1 oz brandy
• 3 oz ginger ale
• a dash or two of Angostura bitters
• a long lemon spiral for garnish

Add a few ice cubes to an old-fashioned glass, add the first three ingredients, stir, and garnish with the lemon.
