The Buck

A Buck cocktail is a simple mix of spirit and Ginger Ale, with the optional addition of lime juice.
I like to make mine with a fiery homemade ginger syrup and soda water in place of ginger ale.

For my ginger syrup, I simply weigh out equal parts of roughly chopped, unpeeled ginger root, white sugar, and boiling water.
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth.
Run this mixture through muslin cloth to remove any solids and keep in the fridge.

It’s really that simple to make and packs a real punch of flavour.
