Lucille Buck

If you enjoy ginger beer and you want a relaxing drink to supplement the spicy taste of ginger, then this is it.


4 cl bourbon whiskey
2 cl Drambuie
2 cl lemon juice
Ginger beer

Shake the first three ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice, and top up with ginger beer. Add a lemon twist.

You may wonder why this drink uses American whiskey and not Scotch whisky to match Drambuie, a Scottish liqueur. The answer is in the drink's name. Lucille is Lucille Ball, the star of an extremely popular sitcom from the 1950s, and her father was Scottish-American. The drink captures the essence of the adorable actor - fiery, honey sweet and absolutely charming. 
A buck, by the way, is a drink that involves ginger beer or ginger ale and citrus fruit.
