The Rail Splitter is a simple ginger-lemon drink — sugar syrup and lemon juice stirred with ginger ale in a highball glass. Named after Abraham Lincoln’s famous nickname (he split fence rails as a young man), it’s a Civil War-era refresher that’s stood the test of time. Clean, crisp, and effortlessly refreshing.
