Irish Buck

The Irish buck is one of those seemingly magical concoctions where the simple meets the sublime. An easy mix of Irish whiskey, fresh lime juice, and ginger ale, it is practically effortless to prepare, yet utterly delightful to drink. And if you should happen to enjoy one too many of these refreshing little libations at your favorite pub or St. Patrick's Day party, you might find yourself galloping around majestically like some kind of mythical stag...worse things could happen. Sláinte!
