Rating
The Sage Old Buck is a contemporary cocktail that tantalizes the palate with an intriguing blend of sweetness, spice, and herbal notes. This concoction seamlessly integrates the tartness of lemon juice, the sweetness of sugar and vanilla syrups, and the peppery bite of ginger beer.

Aromatic sage leaves provide an elegant garnish that complements the drink's earthy undertones, making it a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate a cocktail with a layered taste experience.
Served in a highball glass, the Sage Old Buck offers a unique sipping experience with its bold combination of ingredients.
