The Kentucky Buck No 2 builds on the bourbon buck template with fresh strawberry at its core, the muddled fruit lending a subtle sweetness and jammy depth that rounds out the whiskey's caramel notes. Bright lemon and a double hit of ginger—both spicy and sharp—cut through the richness, while club soda stretches the drink into something long and refreshing. It's a warm-weather highball with enough backbone to satisfy whiskey drinkers who want their bourbon dressed for summer.
