Pony's Neck
Elevate your refreshment game with the effortlessly elegant "Pony's Neck," a drink that redefines simplicity with a touch of sophistication. This no-fuss, non-alcoholic beverage combines the crisp, spicy fizziness of ginger ale with a striking garnish of a wide, curling lemon peel that coils inside the glass like a work of art. Perfect for any occasion, this beverage comes together in just 5 minutes and requires only three ingredients: ginger ale, ice cubes, and a fresh lemon. The key feature here is the lemon peel, which not only adds a visually stunning element but also subtly infuses the drink with citrusy brightness. Serve it in a highball glass with the peel spiraled inside for a drink that’s as delightful to look at as it is to sip.
