What is Horsefeather?
The Horsefeather cocktail is a classic highball that leans into bold simplicity. Whiskey, ginger beer, lemon juice, and aromatic bitters come together in a way that feels crisp, spicy, and oddly comforting all at once. It’s refreshing enough for a warm afternoon, yet structured enough to sip slowly in the evening. I think that balance is why this drink has quietly stuck around for so long.
If you enjoy timeless whiskey highballs with a little attitude, the Horsefeather belongs in your rotation. The ginger beer brings the bite, the lemon keeps things lively, and the bitters tie everything together with subtle depth. If you’re exploring classic whiskey cocktails, you might also enjoy the the Old Fashioned. Different vibes, same whiskey love.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
