About the Horsefeather
The Horsefeather is a classic cocktail and a member of the Buck family of drinks, featuring whiskey, ginger beer, bitters, and lemon. Widely considered the de facto cocktail of Kansas City, Missouri, the Horsefeather is thought to have originated either there or in nearby Lawrence, Kansas.
The drink balances the spice and heat of ginger beer with the acidity of fresh lemon juice, while Angostura bitters add depth and complexity. Typically made with rye whiskey for its spicier, drier profile, it can also be made with bourbon for a slightly sweeter variation. A perfect combination of warmth and refreshment, the Horsefeather is a versatile drink ideal for any occasion.
