Turtles; Horse's Neck

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   The book SCIENTIFIC BAR-TENDING (1884) that I cited for "Manhattan" was
written by Joseph W. Gibson, but his name did not appear on the cover.

HORSE'S NECK

     John Mariani's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD & DRINK has:

_horse's neck._  A strip of lemon or orange peel cut from the fruit in a
continuous spiral and usually served as a garnish in a cocktail (1900).  The
term is also a euphemism for "horse's ass," but it had not been established
when a drink by the name of "horse's neck" first appeared.

     From MODERN AMERICAN DRINKS (Merriam Company, NY, 1895) by George J.
Kappeler, pg. 68:

     _Horse's Neck._
     Cut the peel from a lemon in one long piece, place in a thin
punch-glass, add a bottle of cold imported ginger ale.
