sgls commented on 7/12/2020:

Dale De Groff's Art of the Cocktail uses 1 1/2 oz bourbon and 4 oz ginger ale, while being less specific about the amount of bitters. The book also provides instructions for making the horse's neck lemon peel.

Imbibe Magazine April 2014

Adapted from the classic by Garrett Van Vteck, The Shady Lady Saloon

Combine the bourbon, syrup and bitters in a highball glass and stir to combine.  Fill the glass with ice and top with chilled soda.  Remove the zest rom a whole lemon in one long strip for garnish
