The Bourbon Buck cocktail, a classic libation with a rich history and a delightful kick, has stood the test of time as a beloved choice among cocktail enthusiasts. Originating from the Buck family of cocktails, known for their combination of ginger beer, citrus, and a spirit base, the Bourbon Buck is a refreshing and sophisticated drink that is easy to make and even easier to enjoy.
History of the Bourbon Buck
The Buck cocktails have a lineage that dates back to the mid-20th century. The concept of combining ginger beer, citrus, and a spirit began with the Moscow Mule, featuring vodka. The Bourbon Buck emerged as a delightful twist on this classic, introducing the warm, caramel notes of bourbon to the mix.
Ingredients
To craft the perfect Bourbon Buck, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 oz bourbon
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 4 oz ginger beer
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedge for garnish
Essential Barware
Ensure you have the following essential barware to make your Bourbon Buck with finesse:
- Highball glass
- Jigger for precise measurements
- Mixing spoon
- Ice cube tray
How to Make It
Chill the Glass: Begin by placing the highball glass in the freezer or filling it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Fill with Ice: Once the glass is chilled, fill it with ice cubes.
Measure and Pour: In a separate mixing glass, measure 2 oz of bourbon and add it to the highball glass over the ice.
Add Lime Juice: Squeeze 3/4 oz of fresh lime juice and pour it over the bourbon in the glass.
Top with Ginger Beer: Pour 4 oz of ginger beer over the bourbon and lime juice, allowing the effervescence to mix the ingredients.
Stir Gently: Give the cocktail a gentle stir with a mixing spoon to combine the flavors.
Garnish: Garnish your Bourbon Buck with a lime wedge for a citrusy aroma.
Variations
Experiment with variations of the Bourbon Buck to suit your taste preferences:
- Spicy Twist: Add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Fruit Infusion: Include muddled berries or citrus slices for a fruity twist.
- Herbal Infusion: Garnish with fresh mint or basil for an herbal aroma.
Alternatives
If you’re in the mood for something different, try these alternative drinks:
- Moscow Mule: Swap bourbon for vodka in the classic Buck cocktail.
- Dark ‘n’ Stormy: Use dark rum instead of bourbon for a richer flavor.
