Irish Buck
Contains Alcohol:  Yes
Style: Cocktail
Glass Type: Any Glass
Ingredients: 4

Recipe:
2 oz Irish Whiskey
4 oz Ginger Ale
Lime Juice
Lime Wedge

Instructions

Fill your glass with ice. Any glass will do, but we recommend a larger one, such as a Mule mug or highball glass. Pour the Irish Whiskey over the ice and add the lime juice. Next top with Ginger Ale. Finally, garnish with a fresh lime wedge. The amount of lime juice can be adjusted to your liking. For a very similar twist on this drink (which uses Ginger Beer instead of Ginger Ale), we also recommend checking out the: Irish Mule.
