The Kentucky Buck is bright, spicy, and refreshingly effervescent, with bourbon’s warm, caramel-tinged depth balanced by tart lemon juice and a touch of sweetness from simple syrup. Fresh muddled strawberries add juicy fruitiness, while a splash of ginger beer or ginger syrup provides lively spice and fizz. It drinks like a crisp, fruity bourbon sour with a zesty, invigorating finish.
