A horsefeather is a whiskey cocktail. It was invented in Lawrence, Kansas, in the 1990s.[1] It remains a regional drink in the Kansas City region.[2] The drink is an iteration of the classic horse's neck cocktail and is similar to a Moscow mule.[3]

A horsefeather is traditionally rye whiskey[4] or blended whiskey, ginger beer, three dashes of Angostura bitters, and a little lemon juice.[5] A highball glass is filled 3/4 with ice.[6] The ingredients are then poured into the glass and stirred.[7] There are many variations such as substituting ginger beer with ginger ale,[8][9] adding cherries,[10] muddling the lemon,[11] replacing the lemon with lime,[12] or creating a frozen version.[13]
