How to make it
Prepare the Glass
- Use a channel knife or vegetable peeler to cut a continuous, long spiral peel from the entire lemon.
- Drape one end of the peel over the lip of the highball glass, curling the long ribbon down inside the glass.
- Carefully fill the glass with solid ice cubes, locking the spiral against the inner wall.
Build the Drink
- Pour the brandy directly over the ice.
- Add the Angostura bitters.
- Top gently with the spicy ginger beer and give a single, brief lift with a bar spoon to combine without flattening the fizz.
Garnish
Long, continuous spiral of lemon peel curling from the base of the glass over the rim.
Make it alcohol-free
Replace the brandy with an equal measure of non-alcoholic dark cane or oak spirit alternative (such as Lyre's American Malt or Undone No. 1) and use non-alcoholic aromatic bitters.
