Kentucky Buck
Bourbon, lemon, and a muddled strawberry, shaken and topped with ginger beer. A bourbon buck that drinks like summer.
Method
Muddle the strawberry with the simple syrup in the bottom of a shaker.
Add the bourbon, lemon juice, bitters, and ice, and shake.
Strain into a tall glass of ice, top with ginger beer, and garnish with a lemon wheel.
Notes from the line
Use a spicy ginger beer. A mild one gets lost behind the strawberry.
