Gin Buck

The GIN BUCK is simple, refreshing and a wonderfully light cooler during the summer. Your favorite gin is mixed with ginger beer or ginger ale. Ginger beer offers the spicier alternative. Though the recipe below calls for lemon juice and lemon wedge for garnish, lime can be substituted. The options allow for personalization.

Requirements: gin, ginger beer (or ginger ale), lemon (or lime)

• 2 oz. gin
• 1/2 oz.fresh lemon juice
• 4 oz. ginger beer (or ginger ale) or more to top off

Add ice to a Collins or rocks glass. Pour lemon juice and gin over the ice. Top off with cold ginger beer (or ale) and stir gently to chill. Garnish with a lemon wedge.

Comments: Gin and fresh lemon juice go particularly well together and is preferred here. If simplicity and fast preparation are essential for serving, squeezing the lemon wedge and dropping it into the drink approximates 1/2 ounce.
