Wild Kentucky Buck
This cocktail is a last frontier style adaptation of the "Kentucky Buck," a splendid drink which was first concocted by the illustrious San Diego bartender Erick Castro. With wild lingonberries rather than strawberries and ginger liqueur instead of ginger beer, this version is stronger, simpler, and served straight up.
