The Story

A Buck is any drink made from a spirit, ginger ale, and citrus, a family that includes the Gin Buck and Kentucky Buck. The Irish Buck is simply the Irish whiskey version, and it is one of the lighter, smoother members of the family. Irish whiskey's soft, honeyed character suits ginger ale well, and the lime keeps the sweetness in check.
