History & Origin

The Brazilian Buck follows in the footsteps of classic Buck cocktails like the Moscow Mule and Dark 'n' Stormy, applying the formula of spirit, ginger beer, and citrus to Brazil's national spirit. Cachaça's grassy, earthy notes from fresh sugarcane juice create a distinctive tropical variation on the Buck template.
