That's the ticket on a warm day, a cold Horsefeather. I have A.J. Rathburn to thank for this gem. I seem to like my Horsefeathers with at least 3 generous dashes of bitters, but you can choose your own amount.
Approximately Mr. Rathburn's recipe:
3 oz Bourbon
3 Dashes Bitters
Ginger Ale
Fill tall glass three quarters full with ice, add bourbon and bitters, then fill with ginger ale, stir and smile.
Surprising on the palate- the Horsefeather packs a much more complex taste than you would expect given it seems like mostly soda. Don't be fooled by it's cooling and restorative first glance though, it packs quite a punch and by your third or fourth, you'll feel like it should be called "Lead-Footed Horse" or something more pithy than you care to think of.
