I want something with flavors of ginger and lemon that isn't very sweet.

If you're looking for a cocktail that combines the invigorating flavors of ginger and lemon without being overly sweet, the **Gin Buck** might be the perfect choice for you. This drink is a classic, having been enjoyed for generations since its origins in 19th century England. It offers a refreshing and zesty experience, blending equal parts gin and lemon juice, topped with a splash of spicy ginger ale. The combination of tangy lemon and crisp gin contrasts nicely with the ginger ale's lively "buck" or kick, resulting in a well-balanced and invigorating cocktail. It’s served in a lowball glass, making it perfect for a refreshing sip on warm summer days or as an aperitif before a meal.

If you prefer a slightly higher alcohol content and a bit more complexity, the **Gin Gin Mule** might be more up your alley. It combines dry gin with fresh lime juice and ginger, sweetened slightly with sugar syrup and topped with ginger beer, adding depth with a dash of Angostura Bitters. Although it has a higher alcohol content and a touch of sweetness from the sugar syrup, the bitters and ginger beer help balance the flavors, ensuring it's not overly sweet. It's served in a highball glass and often garnished with a sprig of mint, making it a lively and balanced cocktail suitable for those who appreciate a bit of spice and tartness.
