Made with brandy (or sometimes bourbon) and ginger ale, with a long spiral of lemon peel draped over the edge of an ‘old-fashioned’ or highball glass. Dating back to the 1890s, it was a non-alcoholic mixture of ginger ale, ice and lemon peel. By the 1910s, brandy, or bourbon would be added to make it alcoholic.
