Hennessy Horse's Neck Cocktail

One of the most anticipated events in racing and one of the winter’s biggest social events - The Hennessy Gold Cup - is fast approaching and takes place this year on Saturday, 29th November. 

Now in its 58^h year, The Hennessy Gold Cup is more than just a race, it is the longest running sponsorship of its kind and an institution.  Held at The Racecourse Newbury in Berkshire as part of The bet365 Hennessy Festival, The Hennessy - as it is fondly referred to - is the highlight and pinnacle of the three day race event from Thursday 27^th – Saturday 29^th November and the must-attend racing day of the winter social calendar.

Aside from the exhilarating first class racing, race-goers and VIP guests will be able to enjoy the classic race day special - Hennessy Horse’s Neck cocktail.

The Hennessy Horse’s Neck cocktail – Method:

Pre-soak a strip of orange zest in Hennessy before you start. When the time comes, pour a double measure of Hennessy Fine de Cognac into a short broad tumbler over a couple of ice cubes. Add chilled quality ginger ale in the proportion of two to one, and garnish with the zest. Briefly spritz a slice of orange over the glass, stir furiously and serve.
