Irish Buck/Blarney Stone

A buck drink is defined as having a base spirit, ginger ale or ginger beer, and citrus (generally in the form of a lime squeeze). The Dark and Stormy and Moscow Mule are both classic examples of the buck family (the word mule is also used to describe these drinks).

The Bushmills Irish Buck plays off of this popular style of drink and is, essentially a Whiskey and Ginger with a brand called out. In it, the sweet and smooth taste of the popular Irish whiskey is paired with the spice notes of ginger and just a touch of acid from the lime squeeze.

1 1/2 ounces Bushmills Irish Whiskey
1/4 ounce fresh lime juice
2 ounces ginger ale or ginger beer
Lime wheel for garnish

Combine Bushmills and lime juice over ice in a collins glass.

Top with ginger ale or ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wheel.
