📜 History

The buck is a classic cocktail template built on a base spirit, citrus, and ginger beer. Applying the format to amaro produces a drink that is greater than the sum of its parts: the ginger's spice and the citrus's brightness naturally complement amaro's bittersweet herbal character, while the ginger beer adds an effervescent lift that makes the drink light and sessionable. The combination has gained traction across cocktail bars looking for low-effort, high-reward amaro serves.
