Created by Erick Castro of Polite Provisions, in San Diego, California, the Kentucky Buck is aptly named for the state’s spirit. It’s a refreshing rendition of the traditional buck with the addition of strawberry and fresh lemon juice. These make this bourbon-based cocktail ideal for enjoying on a lazy summer afternoon.
The Kentucky Buck slightly reminiscent of the gin-based Florodora, which mixes muddled raspberries with fresh lime juice and ginger ale.
