A Horses Collar is a variation on a Horses Neck, but instead of American 
Whisky (Bourbon or American Rye) it uses Brandy (Cognac).


"The Mansfield News", 25th August 1900

"A "horse's neck" is an Atlantic City commonity, and few barkeepers in 
Baltimore can make one. They were first invented by a bartender at a popular 
resort there just as the proprietor was about to discharge him. So great did 
the demand for "horse necks" become that the man kept his job and prospered. 
This drink is very long and cool. It is composed of a bottle of imported 
ginger ale, whisky to suit the taste, and plenty of ice. A "horse collar" is 
similar, only brandy is used in making it instead of whisky."
