Irish Buck Cocktail

Irish Buck Cocktail

Cheers, foodie friends! It’s your lucky day. I’ve got for you a refreshing and super simple cocktail with good, basic ingredients and a tasty balance of flavor and pizazz!

Lads and lasses alike will love this one, since the only fruity flavor comes from the lime juice but it still has a hint of sweetness. A splash of ginger ale and Irish whiskey (or a little more than a splash – it’s St. Patrick’s Day after all!) make this cocktail a fun way for two to toast. Also included is a pitcher-sized recipe if you’re quenching the thirst of more than a few!

Craving more? Keep in touch on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram for new post updates and more. You can also check out my FAQ page, or contact me with any questions or inquiries!

    I’m intrigued by this–I’m not a huge whiskey drinker, but think it might be tempered by the lime and ginger ale.

  27. Laura says

    This looks perfect – manly enough to put a wee bit of hair on your chest, yet with the lime and ginger ale…I think it would be relatively tamed. Looks great!
