📜 History

A buck is a classic category of cocktails combining a spirit, ginger ale or ginger beer, and citrus juice. The Irish Buck — better known today as Jameson, Ginger & Lime — pairs Irish whiskey with ginger ale and fresh lime. The recipe is served at the Jameson Distillery in Dublin and is promoted by Jameson Irish Whiskey as one of its signature serves. It has been popular in Irish pubs and bars since at least the late 19th century when combining whiskey with imported ginger ale first became fashionable.
