It is believed to have originated in England in the 19th century and has since become a popular staple in cocktail bars around the world. This simple yet satisfying drink consists of equal parts gin and lemon juice, topped off with a splash of spicy ginger ale. The combination of tangy lemon, crisp gin, and spicy ginger creates a well-balanced and invigorating taste. The name "buck" is believed to refer to the ginger ale's "buck" or kick, which adds a fizzy and lively element to the drink. This cocktail is perfect for warm summer days or as a refreshing aperitif before a meal.
