Gingerly by the Nape

Gingerly by the Nape is the Mocktail version of the classic Horse’s Neck drink recipe classic. Keep in mind classic bitters contains a fraction of alcohol, but two dashes in this size cocktail will not retain a viable affect for those wishing to maintain designated driver status.  For those staying clear of alcohol completely, leave out the bitters completely.
