Buck is an incredibly versatile and adaptable cocktail template, ideally suited for home-bartenders. One of the most popular buck family drinks is Bourbon Buck masterfully blending warming bourbon and spicy ginger beer. Lauren Rojas took this delicious drink and gave it a floral, fruity twist in a form of Rhinestone Cowboy.
Base of the cocktail is bourbon with warming notes of oak, caramel and spices, pairing incredibly well with the fragrant tartness of lemon. Peach liqueur helps to keep the balance with sweet, fruity, almost floral tones at the same time increasing the overall flavour complexity. A few leaves of muddled mint introduce a herbal coolness and freshness to the mix, offsetting the sharp spiciness of effervescent ginger beer.
Rhinestone Cowboy is a tasty and refreshing drink full of delicately balanced flavours. Great drink for gatherings and cocktail parties.
