Continuing the theme of Buck style cocktails, I would like to bring you an Irish Buck.

 Buck is a delicious and versatile cocktail style and template with numerous variations available out in the world. Irish Buck is just one of those, deceptively simple and remarkably delicious cocktails that everyone can try at home.

Irish Whiskey with its aged oak notes and subtle spices provides a solid base for the cocktail. It blends seamlessly with the floral notes of honey and tartness of lemon. It is a killer combination when topped off with a touch of effervescence and that all-familiar ginger bite. Basil garnish further expands the aromatic dimension with subtle herbal tones for a full rounded drinking experience.

Irish Buck is a simple cocktail, but do not let that fool you. This recipe is ready to provide you with a deliciously refreshing boozy kick, especially on those scorching hot days, that should be just around the corner.
