Kentucky Buck Recipe
Our delicious Kentucky Buck cocktail recipe is a slightly sweet bourbon drink that is perfect for enjoying all summer long!
Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon whiskey
- 1 1/2 oz strawberry basil simple syrup
- 1/2 oz lemon juice
- 2-3 dashes of bitters
- ice cubes
- 3 oz ginger beer
- optional garnish: fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Cocktail Shaker: Put the 2oz bourbon, 1 1/2oz strawberry basil simple syrup, 1/2oz lemon juice, and a few dashes of bitters in a cocktail shaker. Secure the lid on top and give it a good shake.
- Ice: Pour the cocktail over ice in your favorite cocktail glass.
- Ginger Beer: Top off the cocktail with the ginger beer and give it a little stir.
- Enjoy: Option to garnish with strawberries and enjoy!
Notes
- Bourbon: just pick-up your favorite bourbon from your local liquor store - we used Basil Hayden's during testing and it was delish!
- Sweetness: feel free to adjust the sweetness with more or less strawberry basil simple syrup.
- Simple Syrup: it is easy to make strawberry simple syrup, but you can also pick-up a store-bought version, if you want, or just use regular strawberry simple syrup or plain simple syrup!
- Larger Batch: option to double or triple the recipe to make more than 1 cocktail.
