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]
