By Type

Buck Cocktails

Spirit, ginger beer or ginger ale, and lime juice, served over ice — distinguished from a Highball by that citrus component and from a Rickey by using ginger rather than plain soda. Emerged during Prohibition, and deliberately carries no added sugar; the ginger carbonate itself supplies all the sweetness the drink needs.

Rum

Rum Buck

The Moscow Mule's rum-forward cousin — same ginger snap, warmer backbone.

Vodka

Moscow Mule

The copper-mug drink — vodka, lime, a proper ginger kick.

Gin

Gin Buck

The Moscow Mule's gin-forward cousin.

Whiskey

Kentucky Buck

Bourbon's warmth meets fresh strawberry and a bright ginger snap.

Tequila/Mezcal

Mexican Mule

The Moscow Mule's tequila-forward cousin.
