Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have our Thanksgiving beverage. One sip of the rum buck - light rum, lime juice and ginger ale - and my wife proclaimed "very nice." We may play around with ginger ale vs. ginger beer but we have a winner. My recipe came from The New York Bartender's Guide.
Bucks are a family of drinks combining ginger ale or beer with a citrus juice and a base liquor. The Moscow Mule, which uses vodka, is probably the most famous example. With gin, it's a Ginger Rogers.
Nice. Congratulations on finding a drink. It will not be perfect till you have a sweet cat posing with it.

Thanks.
DeleteThis sounds delicious, I'm off to make some ginger beer right now! :-)
ReplyDeleteEarlier this year, I experimented with homemade sodas, including my own root beer. If I ever get back to it, ginger ales and ginger beers will be highest priority.
DeleteWell, I like rum, but I don't know if I'm interested in ginger ale.
ReplyDeleteGinger ale is definitely the preferred soda at my house, unless one counts seltzer.
DeleteThis sounds like something I will really enjoy. Definitely have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing. :)
